Abstract

The usefulness of The Nonhuman Primate Pregnancy Test kit for diagnosis of pregnancy in chimpanzees was determined. This hemagglutination inhibition test for urinary chorionic gonadotropin accurately indicated conception by positive responses in 151 of 153 specimens collected between 20-133 days after the estimated day of fertilization. The rate of false positive responses did not exceed 1%.
