通过使用 6 个社会群体的 41 只成年黑猩猩，完成了一项针对圈养黑猩猩的丰富喂养计划的分析，以确定该计划对攻击行为和异常行为发生率的影响。在此 ABA 设计研究的实验阶段同时实施了四个饲喂富集程序。这些程序的目的是引发耗时的、非竞争性的喂养，理论上会减少圈养黑猩猩中常见的激动情绪和有害的异常行为。 27 小时的数据是在 6 个月的时间内收集的。方差结果的多变量分析支持了这一假设，因为大量的喂养丰富技术显着减少了激动和异常行为。这项研究的意义在于应用科学方法来改善圈养灵长类动物的饲养。
An analysis of a feeding enrichment program for captive chimpanzees was completed to determine the effects of that program on the incidence of agonistic and abormal behaviors by using 41 adult chimpanzees in six social groups. Four feeding enrichment procedures were implemented simultaneously in the experimental phase of this ABA design study. The procedures were planned to elicit time-consuming, noncompetitive feeding, theorizing a consequent reduction in agonism and detrimental abnormal behaviors typical by occurring in captive chimpanzees. The 27-hours of data were collected over a 6-month period. A multivariate analysis of variance result supported the hypothesis, as the barrage of feeding enrichment techniques significantly reduced agonism and abnormal behaviors. This study''s significance lies in its application of the scientific method to improving the husbandry of captive primates.
