BABOON BREEDING PROGRAM

本次续签申请的总体目标是继续生产 每年用于生物医学研究的大约200只具有特征的狒狒 这个国家。这一计划包括了四种狒狒亚种。 主要的繁殖群体是Papio C.Anubis，具有较小的繁殖群体 Papio C.cynocephalus、Papio C.hamadryas和Papio c.Papio。研究 论灵长类畜牧业和医药业重点发展大 规模化成本效益技术将继续下去。独一无二的狒狒 特征将继续被选为生物医学的典范 研究。该殖民地将继续由遗传基因管理 使用遗传标记和开发的计算机程序进行透视 特别是为了这个目的。生殖效率将得到提高 使用涉及计算机的人口统计和成本估算方法 模拟。增长和发展数据将继续收集在#年 为了更好地定义这个动物模型。

The overall objective of this renewal application is to continue to produce approximately 200 characterized baboons per year for biomedical research in this country. Four subspecies of baboons are included in this program. The primary breeding colony is Papio c. anubis with small breeding groups of Papio c. cynocephalus, Papio c. hamadryas and Papio c. papio. Studies on primate husbandry and medicine emphasizing the development of large scale cost effective techniques will continue. Baboons with unique characteristics will continue to be selected as models for biomedical research. The colony will continue to be managed from a genetic perspective using genetic markers and computer programs developed specifically for this purpose. Reproductive efficiency will be improved employing demographic and cost estimation methods that involve computer simulation. Growth and development data will continue to be collected in order to better define this animal model.
