The primary goal is to maintain a chimpanzee breeding colony that will ensure the production of offspring that are physically health and behaviorally and socially normal. The health of the animals will be closely monitored by the attending veterinarian and according to the Institution's Animal Care and Use Program. The chimpanzee colony will be managed so as to be productive in terms of numbers of infants born and maintenance of the colony to ensure the social development and experience that is required for future breeders. Management of all ages of animals in this colony includes close attention to their behavioral well-being as well as their physical well-being. Both harem and pair breeding systems are utilized in this facility. All proven breeder females in this facility are adequate mothers. Therefore, during the first 36-48 months, alternate rearing methods are employed only if the infant or mother is ill or injured. The wild infant is 4-5 years old before it is weaned. Consequently, this Institution makes the a priori assumption that infants should be left with their mothers for as long as is practical. Until more is known regarding the actual time the captive infant should be left with its mother, it is hoped that this will assure the development of breeders of the future. Comprehensive records of morbidity, mortality, birth, geneology and behavior will be maintained with a goal of placing much of the information into computerized records. In addition, findings that are pertinent to improved captive management will be published. All animals in this colony are registered with the International Species Inventory System (ISIS). No animals in this colony have a history of experimental use in non A, non B hepatitis.

主要目标是维持一个黑猩猩繁殖群， 确保后代的身体健康， 行为和社交都正常 动物的健康将 由主治兽医密切监测，并根据 机构的动物护理和使用计划。 黑猩猩的聚居地将是 管理，以便在婴儿出生数量方面具有生产力， 维护殖民地，确保社会发展和经验 这对未来的育种者来说是必要的。 所有年龄段动物的管理 这一群体还包括密切关注它们的行为健康 他们的身体健康。 后宫和配对繁殖系统都是 在这个设施中使用。 所有在这个设施里的雌性繁殖者都是 合适的母亲。 因此，在最初的36-48个月内， 只有在婴儿或母亲生病或 受伤了 野婴4-5岁才断奶。 因此，该机构作出先验假设，婴儿 应该尽可能长时间地留在母亲身边 直到更多 关于被囚禁的婴儿应该被留下的实际时间是已知的， 它的母亲，希望这将确保育种的发展， 后事之 全面记录发病率、死亡率、出生率、 基因和行为将保持与放置大部分的目标， 将信息输入电脑记录。 此外，调查结果表明， 有关改进圈养管理的报告将予公布。 中的所有动物 该群落已在国际物种清单系统中登记 （ISIS）。 这个殖民地的动物都没有实验性使用的历史， 非甲非B型肝炎。
