Rearing techniques for conventional and gnotobiotic nonhuman primates are described. Up to four months of age there was no significant difference in weight gain between conventionally and gnotobiotically reared chimpanzees or baboons. After four months, gnotobiotic chimpanzees exceeded their conventional counterparts in weight gain, whereas conventional baboons showed higher weight gain than gnotobiotic baboons. Gnotobiotic chimpanzees and baboons had significantly lower absolute numbers of neutrophils than their conventional counterparts, but the absolute numbers of lymphocytes were not different. The gnotobiotic rearing of marmosets is also reported.
描述了普通饲养和无菌饲养的非人灵长类动物的饲养技术。在4个月龄之前，普通饲养和无菌饲养的黑猩猩或狒狒在体重增加方面没有显著差异。4个月后，无菌饲养的黑猩猩在体重增加方面超过了普通饲养的黑猩猩，而普通饲养的狒狒比无菌饲养的狒狒体重增加得更多。无菌饲养的黑猩猩和狒狒的中性粒细胞绝对数量显著低于普通饲养的同类，但淋巴细胞的绝对数量没有差异。还报道了狨猴的无菌饲养情况。
