CHIMPANZEE BREEDING AND RESEARCH PROGRAM

为实现维持人口自给自足的目标作出贡献 在美国，亚利桑那州灵长类基金会将维持一项 黑猩猩繁育群体繁衍后代 动物。63只动物被分配到该计划中。都是 在国际物种名录系统登记，没有一个 有非甲非乙型肝炎的接触史。殖民地将被管理 以确保维护和生产身体健康和 行为正常的黑猩猩。动物健康将由以下人员维持 合格的护理人员，包括一名工作人员兽医。行为幸福 每个人都得到了慈悲的关怀，并 由动物护理人员和训练有素的行为观察者进行观察。全面 健康、行为、生殖状况、繁殖和其他方面的记录 个人历史将有助于管理决策，以及 监控每只动物的发育和管理效果 协议。繁殖的动物将被成双成对地饲养或单雄群养 组。所有动物的引入都要经过一段时间的毗邻住房 监控交互。基因多样性将通过避免 近亲交配和确保没有任何一种动物过度繁殖 人口。在亲子关系不明的情况下，分子遗传分析 将会被使用。为了确保每个婴儿都能成长为称职的 养育者和父母，婴儿将被留在他们的母亲身边 是很实用的。将认真监测社会环境，并 设法确保社交能力，并最大限度地减少身体和行为 精神创伤。婴儿只有在生病或有需要时才由人抚养。 婴儿或母亲受伤，或因母体疾病对婴儿造成极大风险 无能。在临时情况下，将尽一切努力 把婴儿重新介绍给他们的母亲。

To contribute to the goal of maintaining a self-sustaining population of chimpanzees in the U.S., the Primate Foundation of Arizona will maintain a chimpanzee breeding colony to produce further generations of breeding animals. 63 animals are allocated for inclusion in the program. All are registered with the International Species Inventory System, and none have a history of exposure to non A, non B hepatitis. The colony will be managed to assure the maintenance and production of physically healthy and behaviorally normal chimpanzees. Animal health will be maintained by qualified care staff, including a Staff Veterinarian. Behavioral well being of each individual is assured by the compassionate care provided, and close observation by animal care and trained behavioral observers. Comprehensive records of health, behavior, reproductive status, breeding, and other individual history will facilitate management decision-making, and monitoring each animals' development and the efficacy of management protocols. Breeding animals will be housed in pairs or single-male social groups. All introductions of animals follow a period of adjacent housing to monitor interactions. Genetic diversity will be maintained by avoidance of inbreeding and by insuring that no one animal over-contributes to the population. In cases of uncertain paternity, molecular genetic analysis will be used. In order to assure that each infant develops into a competent breeder and parent, infants will be left with their mothers for as long as is practical. The social environment will be carefully monitored and managed to assure social competence and minimize physical and behavioral trauma. Infants will be hand-reared only if necessary due to illness or injury of infant or mother, or extreme risk to the infant due to maternal incompetence. In the case of temporary conditions, all efforts will be made to reintroduce infants to their mothers.
