ESTABLISHMENT OF A BREEDING AND RESEARCH PROGRAM

西南路易斯安那大学新伊比利亚研究中心 建议建立一个黑猩猩繁殖群作为研究， 生产殖民地与托运的19个成年女性，6个男性 繁殖者，15名女性和1名男性本地出生的青少年以及 五名青少年女性和一名男性被纳入分阶段纳入 育种计划。 该计划将设在一个半户外殖民地设施翻新 为此目的，配备足够的技术和专业人员 以最大化群体的后代生产潜力。 适当 研究土生后代的繁殖和饲养问题， 与此资源一起使用。 为了使 黑猩猩作为人类疾病独特生物模型的可用性 研究，该计划将被设计为分阶段扩展， 最终目标是在人口和收入方面自给自足 支持.

The University of Southwestern Louisiana New Iberia Research Center proposes to establish a chimpanzee breeding colony as a research and production colony with a consignment of nineteen adult females, six male breeders, fifteen females and one male native born adolescents as well as five juvenile females and one male included for staged inclusion into breeder program. This program will be located in a semi-outdoor colony facility renovated for this specific purpose with sufficient technical and professional staff to maximize the progeny production potential of the group. Appropriate research into the problems of breeding and rearing native born progeny will be undertaken in conjunction with this resource. In order to perpetuate the availability of chimpanzees as unique biomodels in human disease research, this program will be designed for phased expansion with the ultimate objective of being self-sustaining in both population and revenue support.
