摘要/Abstract

摘要： 自从Corner(1923)报告了猕猴的月经现象以后,一些作者对猕猴的繁殖进行了一系列的研究(Zuckerman,1931;Hartman,1932;1949;Wag-enen,1954;Sade,1964;Valerio等,1968;Hafez,1971)。更兼近30年来猕猴是医学生物学和疫苗生产中广泛应用的一种灵长类动物。需要数量逐年增长,而自然界中的数量又逐年减少。因此,目前对保护和合理利用这种动物资源受到人们的普遍关切。羌囚、苏联、11本等国家建立了灵长类研究中心和大型养猴场,研究猿猴在驯养条件下的繁殖问题。国内的第一个大型猿猴养值场也就是现在的中114科学院昆明动物所养猴场,创建于1958年。这个养猴场创建初期,我们就在这里从事称猴的词养、繁殖和生长发育等问题的研究。

Abstract: The breeding phenomena of rhesus monkeys (Macaca rnulatta ) were investigated in the monkey breeding ranch of Kunming Institute of Zoology from 1961 to 1966. The investigations were especially emphasized on the following problems such as: The group reproductive rate, the favorite period for reproduction and some breeding problems under domestication.The frequency of pregnancy might approach 90% and the average was 69.8%, The normal frequency of parturition might be 100% and averagely 82.2%. The favorite period for reproduction was from Feb. to June every year, and the high peak for parturition was within the period from March to May.If we want to breed monkeys in cage conditions we must put special emphasize on: the careful selection of breeding stock, the chosen of suitable method of breeding and both the breeding adults and the newly born young monkeys must be carefully treated in management.
