Diazepam is more effective than midazolam when used as an aid in chair training non-human primates

Non-human primates (NHPs) are utilized frequently in biomedical research and can be difficult and sometimes dangerous to handle. Because of this, restraint is sometimes necessary for data collection. Restraint chair training is generally a straightforward process, however, not all animals...

A novel caging method for collecting telemetry data from pair-housed monkeys

Caging method is described that allows telemetric measurements [ECG and blood pressure] of long-tailed macaques housed in pairs. The first method consisted of modifying the current cages to add a wire mesh tunnel constructed above the two adjacent cages, with...

Grooming and aggression in captive Japanese macaques

This study investigated the relations between allogrooming and aggression in a captive group of Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata). Our aim was to test whether evidence of an interchange between allogrooming and a reduction in aggression could be identified at a...

The role of social environment on training success in female rhesus macaques

Subjects were trained to touch a target. The singly caged [female] monkeys reliably touched the target in fewer training session that pair housed individuals.
