title: The technique of orthotopic ovarian transplantation in the chicken.
abstract: A surgical technique has been established for orthotopic transplantation of ovarian tissue in newly hatched chickens. In these trials survivability of the chicks after surgical manipulation was 100%. The size and orientation of the ovary at 2 wk of age suggested that the graft was attached and had undergone development. This technique should allow the development of a cryopreservation protocol of chicken ovarian tissue for the conservation of poultry genetic material.
