Enrichment and nonhuman primates: “”First, do no harm””

Since the 1998 publication of The Psychological Well-Being of Nonhuman Primates by the National Research Council, and the 1991 implementation of the 1985 Animal Welfare Act Amendment, many formal and informal nonhuman primate enrichment programs have been put into practice....

Environmental enrichment for nonhuman primates: Theory and application

Only social contact satisfies the goal of promoting a wide variety of species-typical activities while at the same time reducing or preventing the development of abnormal behavior... A number of toys should be provided initially and rotated on a regular...

Training nonhuman primates to perform behaviors useful in biomedical research

Training protocols are described and the time investments to achieve cooperation for semen collection [7 subjects: 29-453 minutes], subcutaneous [2 subjects: 90-104 minutes; 1 subject could not be trained] and intramuscular injection [39 subjects: 0.1-396 minutes; 43 subjects could not...

Training chimpanzees to voluntarily present for intramuscular injections using positive reinforcement training techniques

82 animals were reliably trained to present for injection in a mean of 87 minutes. During 2003, 68% of 361 injections were given to animals voluntarily presenting a thigh.
