Per Diem Program
Our Per Diem
Program
-
It is suspected
that some of the monkey breeders in
Asia
export wild caught monkeys rather
than the offspring of captive-bred
animals. As a result, the risk of
importing wild caught monkeys and
lack of information related to the
geographic origin of the monkeys may
arise.
-
In
response to the
above issues, Vanny
Group would like to
introduce a per diem
program to customers
who do not want to
take the risk of
introducing wild
caught animals to
their facilities.
Vanny’s Strength
and Capability in Offering High Quality Animals from
Our Per Deim Program
-
Vanny Group is a
professional breeder of cynomolgus
monkeys for over 2 decades.
Our breeders are recruited
from
Cambodia
with licenses. They are all
originated from known geographic
areas in
Cambodia,
the home of cynomolgus
monkeys. We are able to
provide offspring with
genetic consistency and
traceable geographic region
of origin.
In order to raise
animals in a clean and health
environment, we are able to
introduce B-virus free
colonies for our per-diem
program.
Animals in
per-diem programs can be tattooed
or micro chipped
so that each of the animals carry a
unique identity.
We have
stable and abundant supply of
breeders to facilitate the
establishment of our breeder
colonies and our per diem program.
Paternity
testing service using STR
genotyping to reveal blood
relationship of animals is available
on request.
Proposed Per-Diem
program
-
Table 1
explains our Per-Diem Program
starting from an introduction of
5,000 female breeders in the first
year of the program. There will have
25,000 female breeders introduced
into this program in the first five
years, and 15,000 offspring can be
produced annually after 7 years and
are available for our per-diem
program, based on 60% birth rate.
Our breeders retire at age of eleven
-
Table1
-
-
The breeders recruited from the wild
usually take 2 years to become
sexually mature (usually matured at
age 5). Considering the period of
six months for pregnancy and thirty
months to reach the age for export,
it should usually take 5 years of
time to have offspring for export,
counting from the first year of
introducing breeders.
-
-
Under our estimation, a farm with a
closed breeding colony should
recruit more than 50 % of offspring
to replenish the breeding colony in
order to have enough offspring for
export.
-
Table 2
explains the number of offspring is
decreasing if no breeder is
introduced into the breeder group. A
breeder group of 1000 females with
60% birth rate is used to explain
this situation. It shows that 1800
of F1 is produced in the lifetime of
the 1000 female breeder group, and
the number is decreasing in F2, F3
and F4 generations.
