BABOON BREEDING PROGRAM

本次更新申请的总体目标是继续生产 每年约有200只特征狒狒用于生物医学研究， 这个国家 狒狒的四个亚种包括在这个计划中。 主要的繁殖群体是Papio c。繁殖群体小的阿努比斯 关于Papio C cynocephalus，Papio c. hamadryas和Papio c. papio。 研究 关于灵长类动物的畜牧业和医学，强调发展大型 规模经济的技术将继续。 狒狒有着独特的 这些特征将继续被选为生物医学的模型。 research. 殖民地将继续由基因管理 使用遗传标记和计算机程序开发的观点 专门为此目的。 繁殖效率将得到提高 采用人口统计和成本估算方法， 仿真 将继续收集生长和发育数据， 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.
