BackgroundStillbirths in non‐human primates are a major problem and represent failure of the maternal–fetal–placental unit to maintain normal relationships because of various endogenous, undetermined or environmental factors.MethodsRecords of 236 stillborns and their dams in aMacaca fasciculariscolony during a 7‐year period were reviewed retrospectively.ResultsThe 7‐year stillbirth incidence was 11.99% (236 stillbirths, 1967 live births). Most (61.02%, n=144) were of undetermined etiology. Fetal causes included trauma (22.46%, n=53), fetal pneumonia (0.85%, n=2) and congenital anomalies (0.42%, n=1). Maternal causes included dystocia (9.75%, n=23) and uterine rupture (0.42%, n=1). Forty‐nine placentas were available for histologic evaluation; there was placentitis in five, necrosis in five and placental abruption in two. Most stillbirths occurred close to term. First stillbirths usually occurred in 8‐ to 12‐year‐old animals during the first six pregnancies.ConclusionsMost stillbirths were of undetermined etiology. Fetal trauma was the most common cause.
