Using a GnRH agonist to obtain an index of testosterone secretory capacity in the cockatiel (<i>Nymphicus hollandicus</i>) and sulphur‐crested cockatoo (<i>Cacatua galerita)</i>

Abstract

Buserelin can be used to obtain a reliable index of the prevailing testosterone capacity of the cockatiel and cockatoo testis. With further studies, this test may be incorporated into clinical assessment of reproductive status.
