Evaluation of caged mating behavior in Macaca fascicularis.
Studies were undertaken to characterize the basic behavioral parameters of a breeding colony of Macaca fascicularis under caged conditions. The female Reproduction Performance Index and the Success Ratio were found to correlate with mating behavior relating to cyclicity in females with cycles of less than 30 days. These evaluations proved to be useful in the selection of animals based on sexual vigor.
