Résumé

Les effets de l'ablation des ganglions cervicals supérieurs deCoturnix coturnix japonica font l'objet de cet exposé. Chez le mâle la gangliectomie bilatérale n'affecte pas l'activité testiculaire. Par contre chez les femelles la quantité d'œufs pondus est nettement réduite et l'interruption post-opératoire de la pondaison est prolongée; de plus la première ponte des jeunes femelles est retardée. LesCoturnix qui ont subi l'ablation des ganglions ont un taux de mortalité plus élevé lorsque les oiseaux sont exposés à des abaissements de température et des changements de photopériodisme.
