Abstract

Non-human primates, as well as other wild species, demand that more research be carried out in order to provide knowledge of their reproductive biology and management methods applied to reproduction, including cesarean section is the criterion of choice in some cases. dystocia, where there is difficulty at the time of delivery due to maternal or fetal origin. Radiographic pelvimetry has been used as a diagnostic method in these cases, in addition to ultrasound. Therefore, reproductive management such as cesarean section can help reduce the mortality rate, also contributing to preservation and other techniques that distribute their genetic diversity, thus reducing the number of threatened species, maintaining a biologically viable population.
