With shrinking habitat, the humane control of certain wildlife populations is relevant. The contraceptive vaccine based on native porcine zona pellucida (PZP) has been applied to various wildlife populations for 20 years. Prominent efforts include wild horses, urban deer, zoo animals and African elephants, among others. This approach has been successful in managing entire populations and to date, no significant debilitating short- or long-term health effects have been documented.
随着栖息地的缩小,对某些野生动物种群进行人道控制变得相关。基于本地猪卵透明带(PZP)的避孕疫苗已经在各种野生动物种群中应用了 20 年。突出的努力包括野马、城市鹿、动物园动物和非洲象等。这种方法在管理整个种群方面取得了成功,迄今为止,没有记录到明显的短期或长期健康损害。
