โœฆ Synopsis

Thyroidectomy of adult Spotted munia ( Uroloncha punctulata) leads to the gonads remaining permanently in full breeding condition and is responsible for an early increase in testis size and activity in juvenile birds. These effects may be due to (i) general disturbances in metabolism or (ii) continuous secretion of gonadotropic hormones from the hypophysis or (iii) to both of these processes.

Low doses of 1-thyroxin promote feather regeneration and lead to significant reduction in the mean weight of the gonad of adult normal and thyroidectomized Spotted Munia, Uroloncha punctulata, in the breeding phase. At moderately high doses of thyroxin complete molting occurs, and the mean weight of
