CHIMPANZEE BREEDING AND RESEARCH PROGRAM

一个专门繁殖的黑猩猩群体(泛轮猩猩) 成立于1986年，与其他黑猩猩一起参与 生产研究用动物的机构，并确保 未来动物的可获得性通过建立一个自我维持的 黑猩猩聚居地。该计划将继续进行，重点是 在蜂群中提供。生产目标将针对殖民地 维护水平，除非明显需要增加 由于国家需求增加而增加的产量。这是因为 如果需要的话增加生产，空间问题得到解决。 将在大型社会群体、中等规模的后宫群体和 个人配对。人工繁殖技术将被用于 促进遗传多样性。婴儿将留在产后小组中度过 自然断奶阶段。任何托儿所养育的婴儿都将在 在正常的社会群体中，大约1岁的母亲。 将在与改善婴儿健康相关的领域进行研究 通过控制围产期道德来生存；在婴儿发育和 交配行为中的动机因素研究。

A dedicated breeding colony of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) was established in 1986 to participate with other chimpanzee holding institutions in production of animals for use in research and to insure the future availability of animals by the establishment of a self-sustaining chimpanzee colony. This program will be continued with emphasis on providing in the colony. Production goals will be aimed at colony maintenance levels, unless there is a clear need for an increase in production due to increased national demand. This is because of the increase production if the need arises and space problems are solved. Breeding will be done in large social groups, medium sized harem groups and individual pair-matings. Artificial breeding techniques will be used to promote genetic diversity. Infants will stay in natal groups through natural weaning periods. Any nursery-reared infants will be fostered at around 1 year of age onto mothers in normal social groups. Research will be conducted in areas relevant to improvement of infant survival by controlling periparturient morality; in infant development and investigation of motivational factors in mating behavior.
