Transplantation of ovarian tissue between different breeds of chickens or Japanese quail can result in normal egg production and give rise to donor-derived offspring with a high frequency. The feasibility of interspecific ovarian transplantation was evaluated by transplanting ovarian tissue from Muscovy ducks to Pekin ducks just after hatch, with subsequent treatment of the recipients with an immunosuppressant. Among the 8 mature Pekin ducks that had received ovarian tissue from Muscovy ducklings, 2 produced fertile eggs when mated with Muscovy drakes, and one of these produced only Muscovy ducks, which were derived from the transplanted Muscovy ovary. The other produced mule ducks that were hybrids of the host Pekin duck and the Muscovy drake. Further development of interspecific transplantation of ovaries may provide a simple method for the conservation and propagation of endangered birds.
不同品种的鸡或鹌鹑之间的卵巢组织移植可以导致正常的产蛋，并以高频率产生供体来源的后代。通过在孵化后立即将卵巢组织从麝香鸭移植到北京鸭，然后用免疫抑制剂处理受体，评估了种间卵巢移植的可行性。在接受麝香鸭雏鸭卵巢组织的 8 只成熟北京鸭中，有 2 只与麝香公鸭交配后产了可育的蛋，其中一只只产了来自移植的麝香鸭卵巢的麝香鸭，另一只产了杂种鸭，是宿主北京鸭和麝香公鸭的杂交。进一步发展种间卵巢移植可能为濒危鸟类的保护和繁殖提供一种简单的方法。
