This paper reports the behavioural effects of repeated injections in adult male domestic ducks of pregrant mare serum (PMS), human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), testosterone propionate (TP), oestradiol monobenzoate (OB) and progesterone (P). The most salient feature of the results was that both gonadotropic hormones had very few effects on behaviour. In particular they did not stimulate the social displays which were, on the contrary, inhibited to some extent by the three steroids including TP. Sexual behaviour was stimulated to a moderate extent by TP and by OB injections (except for copulation which was unaffected by the latter treatment). These results are discussed in the light of comparable studies in mammals and in relationship to the sequence of behavioural and endocrinological events observed throughout a reproductive cycle of untreated animals.
本文报道了对成年雄性家鸭重复注射孕马血清（PMS）、人绒毛膜促性腺激素（HCG）、丙酸睾酮（TP）、苯甲酸雌二醇（OB）和孕酮（P）后的行为效应。结果最显著的特征是，两种促性腺激素对行为的影响极小。特别是它们并未刺激社会行为表现，相反，包括TP在内的三种类固醇在一定程度上抑制了这种表现。TP和OB注射在一定程度上刺激了性行为（除交配行为外，后者处理对其无影响）。根据在哺乳动物中的类似研究以及与未处理动物整个生殖周期中观察到的行为和内分泌事件序列的关系，对这些结果进行了讨论。
