Use of different foraging substrates in captive Cebus capucinus

In order to promote initial interest in the [four different] litters [presented in different quarters of the enclosure] each day, 140 g of raisins were spread across the top of each litter immediately before each observation session. ...The ground corn...

Traditional handling procedures of laboratory nonhuman primates are an intrinsic source of distress: What can be done?

With some professional expertise and goodwill, there should be no real need to resort to forceful restraint when doing research with nonhuman primates.

A garden of enrichment

The animals are spending a lot of time searching for different species of plants, not only because of their medicinal compounds but also because of their taste. Both seeking out and eating the herbs can occupy a lot of the...

The use of feeding board as an environmental enrichment device for tufted capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella)

Results show that the feeding board [on which seeds were scattered] were almost always in use [during 30-minute observations]. ... There was no evidence that the position in which the feeding board was placed [high vs low] influenced its use...

Behavioral and cortisol responses to repeated capture and venipuncture in Cebus apella

Habituation technique is described. Behaviorally habituated animals exhibited significantly lower cortisol levels in response to venipuncture as opposed to naive and experienced but nonbehaviorally habituated subjects. None of the trained subjects actively presented a leg for blood collection.

Space requirement stipulations for caged non-human primates in the United States: A critical review

Cage space requirements for non-human primates in the United States of America are less than those in European countries. Studies in support of the assumption that the US legal minimum cage size provides adequate space have limited value because they...

Comparison of the behaviour of captive white-faced capuchin monkeys (Cebus capucinus) in the presence of four kinds of deep litter

The group-housed capuchins were given the choice of four types of litter evenly spread out on the floor of the enclosure: woodchips, dried ground corncob, woodwool and garden peat. Peat was associated mostly with locomotion and social contacts, while woodwool...
