Baboons are widely used in biomedical research. Although it is widely held that Papio hamadryas breed well in captivity, each established colony has a different reproductive success often hypothesised to be due to husbandry practices. The National Baboon Colony in Australia is a unique colony that houses Papio hamadryas to mimic that structure seen in the wild. In this article; we have analysed their reproductive parameters and neonatal outcomes. The success of the colony husbandry practices was demonstrated by lack of maternal mortality, low foetal morbidity, and known maternal and paternal linage.
狒狒被广泛应用于生物医学研究。尽管人们普遍认为阿拉伯狒狒在圈养条件下繁殖良好，但每个已建立的群体都有不同的繁殖成功率，人们常常认为这是由于饲养管理方式所致。澳大利亚的国家狒狒群体是一个独特的群体，圈养阿拉伯狒狒以模拟野外所见的结构。在本文中，我们分析了它们的生殖参数和新生儿结局。该群体饲养管理方式的成功体现在无母体死亡、低胎儿发病率以及已知的母系和父系血统。
