Branch InstitutionsBreeding Center
Topgenebio is one of the earliest enterprises to engage in the breeding of non-human primates, with its quantity and quality of experimental monkeys ranking among the top. The company has established an Experimental Animal Breeding Research Center, specializing in the breeding and husbandry of non-human primates for research, including rhesus macaques, cynomolgus macaques, common marmosets, and pig-tailed monkeys. Our experimental animals have clear genetic background, sound and complete pedigree files, with regular quarantine and high quality, and have been widely recognized and praised by domestic and overseas customers.

Experimental Animals
Rhesus Macaque
The rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) is a seasonally breeding animal with strong adaptability, easy to domesticate and breed. Its biological characteristics in behavior, physiology, biochemistry, and anatomy are closer to humans, making it widely used in research on infectious diseases, nutritional metabolic diseases, reproductive physiology, neurobiology, behavior, and environmental health.
Cynomolgus Macaque
The cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) is smaller in size compared to the rhesus macaque and has a gentle temperament. It can breed throughout the year with a long life cycle, and is extensively used in research fields such as toxicology, pharmacology, physiology, reproductive biology, and chronic disease models, being considered an important experimental animal.
Common Marmoset
The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is small in size, develops rapidly, breeds quickly, and has a longer lifespan than mice but shorter than macaques. It is widely used in biomedical research in neuroscience, behavior, developmental biology, immunology, virology, oncology, parasitology, pharmacology, toxicology, and reproductive physiology. In recent years, it has been particularly used in research on neural stem cells and hepatitis B virus.
Pig-tailed Monkey
The pig-tailed monkey (Macaca nemestrina) has reproductive tract structure and menstrual cycles similar to humans and can breed throughout the year. It is suitable for research on sexually transmitted diseases and is currently the only Old World monkey that can be infected with HIV-1. It has many advantages in studies of HIV-1 intravenous transmission and sexual transmission models, making it an ideal experimental animal for AIDS animal model research. Additionally, it has various applications in neuroscience, cognition, and new drug research.
