Contraception As virtually all of our animals are housed socially, considerable effort has continued to be invested in contraception to prevent new pregnancies. To continue observation of menstrual cyclicity, we have chosen IUDs as the primary method of contraception. Thus far, with over 508 cycles of breeding exposure, we have observed three pregnancies and only one clinical problem migration of an IUD from the uterus into the bladder). This is a 0.6% failure rate, in keeping with that predicted from human use. The expected life of the IUD is at least 5 years. Placement is monitored by direct visualization, ultrasound, or x-ray at time of routine clinical survey. In addition, several females within the breeding cohort have been implanted with Norplant and 6 males have undergone vas ligation. To date, DNA has been collected from 124 chimpanzees using the Puregene kit. This is an ongoing process that includes genotyping by Dr. Stone and his staff at Trinity Univ ersity as required for colony management. Standard Operating Procedures have been written and implemented for carestaff to assist in enrichment duties at the Main Center. In addition, the Emory Policy on Environmental Enrichment for Nonhuman Primates has been updated to reflect recent elaborations to the program, and an extensive bibliography has been attached for training purposes. In the next year, we intend to maintain strict limits on chimpanzee breeding and to continue to focus on improving the management of our chimpanzee colony. These plans include use of positive reinforcement training vs. unstructured human interaction as enrichment for chimpanzees housed in indoor-outdoor runs; documentation of the course and success of social introductions and introduction of new projects involving joystick-controlled computer video tasks as enrichment.

避孕，因为我们几乎所有的动物都是社会性饲养的， 继续在避孕方面投入相当大的努力，以 防止新的怀孕。继续观察月经情况 周期性，我们选择宫内节育器作为主要的避孕方法。 到目前为止，我们已经观察到超过508个繁殖周期 三次妊娠和仅一次临床问题的宫内节育器移位 从子宫进入膀胱)。这是0.6%的故障率，在 与人类使用时预测的结果一致。的预期寿命 宫内节育器使用年限至少5年。安置情况由直接 常规临床检查时的可视化、超声或x光检查 调查。此外，交配队列中的几只雌性 6例男性行输精管结扎术。 到目前为止，已经使用 普雷根试剂盒。这是一个持续的过程，包括通过 斯通博士和他在三一大学的工作人员按照殖民地的要求 管理层。已经编写了标准操作程序，并 为护理人员实施，以协助履行主要的充实职责 中心。此外，埃默里关于环境富集化的政策 非人灵长类动物已经更新，以反映最近对 该计划，并附上了广泛的参考书目 培训目的。在未来的一年里，我们打算保持严格的 限制黑猩猩繁殖并继续专注于改进 我们黑猩猩栖息地的管理。这些计划包括使用 积极强化训练与非结构化人际互动 在室内-室外跑步中为黑猩猩增肥； 记录社交介绍的课程和成功情况 介绍涉及操纵杆控制的计算机的新项目 视频任务作为丰富。资助NIH/RR03591$417,694 9/01/95- 8/31/00 K.G.古尔德出版物。使用宫内节育器作为管理工具 黑猩猩(黑猩猩)。J.Med.普里马托尔。(记者发稿)。 P51RR00165-38 1998年1月1日-1998年12月31日耶克斯地区灵长类动物研究 中心
