Abstract (2. Language): 
Carbaryl is an N-methyl carbamate insecticide which is effective against many pests, and is used on a wide variety of crops, poultry, domestic animals, and household and garden pests. The toxic action of carbaryl is due to its ability to inhibit cholinesterase. This study was taken to investigate impact of carbaryl on absolute and relative organ weight of broiler chicks. Broiler chicks were used in the study and the animals were divided in four groups: one control and three experimental groups. Carbaryl was added into diet of experimental broiler chicks at three different doses, low (15mg/kg B.W.), intermediate (20mg/kg B.W.), high (25mg/kg B.W.) and control for 21 days. At the end of the experiment non significant (p>0.005) and dose dependent elevation was observed in absolute liver weight, heart weight and lung weight as compared to their respective control groups. Statistically significant p<0.005 increase in relative liver weight was found but statistically insignificant increase was found in relative heart and lung weights.
