A management procedure was developed for a harem breeding colony of rhesus monkeys to reduce trauma-related injuries and deaths resulting from the periodic removal of pregnant monkeys for research and their subsequent return to the population. Lower morbidity and mortality rates, a reduced mean conception interval, and a higher mean conception rate occurred when monkeys were maintained in permanent harems to which returning females were reintroduced compared to new social groups formed from aggregates of unfamiliar animals.
针对恒河猴后宫式繁殖群体制定了一种管理程序，以减少因定期将怀孕猴子移出用于研究并随后放回群体而导致的与创伤相关的伤害和死亡。与由不熟悉的动物聚集形成的新社会群体相比，当猴子饲养在永久性后宫群体中并将返回的雌性重新引入时，发病率和死亡率较低，平均受孕间隔缩短，平均受孕率较高。
