The lifetime reproductive performance of Mongolian gerbils from which an ovary had been removed 7 days before pairing at 100 days of age was only slightly inferior to that of normal females. A general decline in fertility was evident only in the oldest females. The mean number of litters, young born and age at last parturition were 7.6 +/- 3.8, 37 +/- 20 and 462 +/- 196 days (2 ovaries) compared with 6.9 +/- 3.5, 30 +/- 16 and 417 +/- 142 days (1 ovary) respectively.
在100日龄配对前7天摘除卵巢的蒙古沙鼠的终生繁殖性能仅略低于正常雌性。仅在最年长的雌性中生育力出现普遍下降。有两个卵巢的沙鼠平均产仔窝数、产仔数和最后一次分娩时的年龄分别为7.6±3.8窝、37±20只和462±196天，而只有一个卵巢的沙鼠分别为6.9±3.5窝、30±16只和417±142天。
