摘要：

Sexual differences in the chemical composition of the uropygial gland waxes in domestic ducks have been detected before the nesting period. 3-Hydroxy fatty acids containing diester waxes and significant differences in the composition of the fatty acid and alcohol moieties of the monoester waxes occur during February-June only in the female preen wax. Males as well as ducklings, however, show constant wax patterns. Moreover, no significant influence on wax composition of testosterone or estradiol, respectively in male or female ducklings could be verified. © 1979.
