This study evaluated manual caliper measurement of fetal BPD inSaimirithrough the abdomen of the dam (TBPD) for correlation with paired ultrasound measurements, prediction of delivery date, subspecies variation, prediction of pregnancy outcome, and correlation between postpartum BPD and TBPD. Regression analysis revealed a close relationship between TBPD measurements and those obtained by ultrasound (P< 0.001). TBPD forSaimiri boliviensis boliviensisincreased from a mean of 14.8 ± 0.3 mm for 11 weeks prepartum to a delivery week measurement of 33.2 ± 0.2mm. Delivery‐week TBPD ofSaimiri boliviensis peruviensiswere significantly smaller thanSaimiri sciureus sciureus(P< .05). Delivery week TBPD had a correlation coefficient of 0.64 with paired post‐patrum measurements. No complications were associated with the technique. Delivery date could be predicted within two weeks. TBPD is an inexpensive, safe, rapid method of approximating fetal growth during the last half of pregnancy inSaimiri.
