ESTABLISHMENT OF A CHIMPANZEE BREEDING/RESEARCH PROGRAM

西南路易斯安那大学新伊比利亚研究中心 建议发展和扩大黑猩猩繁殖群体， 为了生产这种受威胁的物种， 成年雌性，6只雄性繁殖者，16只雌性和2只雄性本地出生 青少年以及六名青少年女性和两名男性，包括或 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 以最大限度地发挥群体的繁殖潜力。 适当的研究 繁殖和养育本地出生的后代的问题将是 与此资源一起使用。 为了延续 黑猩猩作为人类疾病独特生物模型的可用性 research. 该计划将设计为分阶段扩展， 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 develop and expand a chimpanzee breeder colony as a resource for production of this threatened, species with a consignment of twenty-six adult females, six male breeders, sixteen females and two males native born adolescents as well as six juvenile females and two males included or 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 reproduction 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 an unique biomodel for 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.
