摘要
本文报道的６只滇金丝猴（Ｒｈｉｎｏｐｉｔｈｅｃｕｓｂｉｅｔｉ）均捕自同一野生种群。由于在运输途中采用了降低应激反应药物，动物得以安全运出。笼养期间，试投以各种本地产植物的叶、花、果和蔬菜为食，结果有５６种为动物所接受。说明金丝猴的食性狭窄主要是受栖息地的限制。在以这些食物为主食的条件下，分别笼养了１４个月的３只（♀）、６个月２只（♂）和８０个月１只（♀）的滇金丝猴目前健康状况良好：成年个体的体重多有所增加，幼体的生长发育良好；结核菌素试验阴性，消化道和呼吸道细菌培养无致病菌生长。
Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys were trapped in their natural habitat, and transported by alleviating stress by drug. We successfully kept these animals in captivity for 14 months for 3 females (2 adults and one 2.5-year-old juvenile),6 months for 2 males (1 subadult and one 2-year-old juvenile), and 80 months for a yearling female. All animals were in good health condition. The body weights of adults were somewhat increased or stable, and somatic growth for the young seemed to be normal.Tuberculin tests gave a negative result,and no pathogenetic bacteria were found in their digestive and respiratory tracts.The animals were experimentally fed by the leave, flower, or fruit of different plants,and vegetables available in Kunming, and 56 species-parts were chosen. Some of the species-parts were later used as their diet. The number of food items chosen is much larger than that reported for the monkey population in the wild where the structure of vegetation is relatively simple.
