| The first domestic case of artificial breeding of endangered black-legged white-rumped langurs succeeded |
Science and Technology Daily reporter Ye Qing, correspondent Deng Yongyi
With a small blue-gray face, big eyes, gray body hair, black legs, and white hips and tail, the black-legged white-rumped langur baby in the nursery curiously looked at the crowd
.
On November 10, a baby black-legged white-rumped langur made its debut at the Changlong Primate Research Center of Guangzhou Changlong Wildlife World (hereinafter referred to as Changlong).
This is the first successful artificial breeding of black-legged and white-buttock leaves in China.
The black-legged white-rumped langur is listed as one of the most endangered primates in the world by the World Conservation Union.
The wild population is less than 1,000.
Many factors have caused its population to be unable to recover.
It is relatively current to increase its population through artificial intervention.
One of the effective methods
.
"For monkey babies, a small cold or other minor diseases are fatal
.
" Changlong conservation expert Chen Siming said, "Because of the low survival rate of black-legged white-rumped langur cubs, and related domestic research and successful cases rarely
.
Black-legged white-rumped langurs mainly live in tropical rainforests and are more afraid of cold, so the most important thing in winter is to keep them warm
.
“Population management is the most important
.
When the black-legged white-rumped langurs mate and when they give birth, these are topics of concern to us
.
Let the newborn monkey eat well and eat healthily, but it is the most important thing
.
"The monkey baby has been born for more than a hundred days, and it is in the initial stage of drinking milk and switching to fixed food
.
" When the child nurse feeds the monkey baby, he first cleans his mouth with clean warm water.
"This is to maintain the monkey baby's digestive tract microorganisms.
"The baby monkey's weight gain was relatively slow one month before birth.
After taking scientific conservation measures in the past two months, the baby monkey's entire digestive system did not show major fluctuations.
In the past few days, the average weight gain was 4-5 grams, and the growth curve was normal
.
"Chen Siming said
.
One of the current industry standards for judging the success of artificial breeding is whether the animal can survive for more than 3 months
.
"From birth to now, the monkey baby has been more than 4 months
old, and it is considered a success .
When it grows to 2 years old, we will let it return to the ethnic group to live
.
" Chen Siming said that for the artificial breeding of endangered animals, in addition to conservation of animals In addition to healthy growth, the ultimate goal should be to allow animals to smoothly return to the ethnic group, adapt to the life of the ethnic group, and grow freely and reproduce offspring
.
After years of exploration and research, the Changlong Primate Research Center has mastered the conservation technology of various endangered ape species from Asia, Central and South America, and the Americas.
It has broken through the conservation technical problems of golden monkeys, marmosets, and gibbons.
The largest number of species in the world's conservation population of primates
