MAINTENANCE OF YNPRC ANIMAL COLONY

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 Yerkes非人灵长类动物群由动物资源部维护，该部门负责兽医和动物护理，环境富集，动物记录和提供研究支持。 维持这样的资源需要一定的动物护理和使用程序，这是支持这样的殖民地的一个组成部分。 其中包括：把动物关在笼子里;维持繁殖群（包括用于艾滋病研究的SPF猕猴和白眉猴群）;管理目的所需的动物移动和处理;定期健康监测，其中可包括体检、结核菌素试验、放射照相、采血;治疗并发疾病和损伤;以及对治疗无反应的动物或具有不可治疗的临床问题或损伤的动物的偶尔安乐死。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Yerkes nonhuman primate colony is maintained by the Division of Animal Resources, which is responsible for veterinary and animal care, environmental enrichment, animal records and provision of research support. Maintenance of such a resource requires certain animal care and use procedures that are an integral part of the support of such a colony. These include: holding the animals in captivity; maintaining breeding colonies ((including SPF macaque and mangabey colonies for AIDS research); movement and handling of the animals as required for management purposes; periodic health surveillance, which may include physical examination, tuberculin testing, radiographs, blood collections; treatment of intercurrent diseases and injuries; and occasional euthanasia of animals unresponsive to treatment or animals with untreatable clinical problems or injuries.
