Normal range of longitudinal blood chemistry and hematology values in juvenile and adult rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

All animals [juvenile and adult] were trained to present an arm through a small cage opening. In this manner blood samples were drawn from untranquilized fully alert animals. [No further details]

Serum levels of testosterone, cortisol, prolactin and bioactive luteinizing hormone in adult male rhesus monkeys following cage-restraint or anaesthetizing with ketamine hydrochloride

Single-housed, adult male rhesus macaques were restrained in their home cages for blood collection at 20 minute intervals. While testosterone levels significantly declined, serum cortisol concentrations significantly increased over a one-hour sampling period.

Abnormal behavior patterns in rhesus monkeys: Symptoms of mental disease?

This paper describes the morphology of abnormal behavior of rhesus monkeys which had experienced a certain degree of social isolation. Analysis of the morphology of the behavior starts from the hypothesis that abnormal activities should preferably be interpreted as distortions...

Deep woodchip litter: Hygiene, feeding, and behavioral enhancement in eight primate species

Sixty-seven animals from eight primate species were used to assess improved husbandry techniques. The presence of woodchips as a direct-contact litter decreased inactivity and fighting, and increased time spent on the ground. Placing food in the deep litter led to...

Venipuncture and vaginal swabbing in an enclosure occupied by a mixed-sex group of stumptailed macacaques (Macaca arctoides)

Training technique is described. Eight female stump-tailed macaques (M. arctoides) who lived with six adult males were rewarded with fresh fruit after being netted against the enclosure wire while a cotton-tipped swab was inserted in the vagina, gently rotated and...

A tandem cage for individually handling group-living monkeys

Except for some specialized cases the accepted practice of housing monkeys, singly, in small cages for experimental purposes, is completely unjustified in the light of present knowledge, since primatologists are now fully aware that monkeys are social animals and require...

A functional analysis of social grooming patterns through direct comparison with self-grooming in rhesus monkeys

Social grooming in primates is a complex behavior in which monkeys stroke, pick, or otherwise manipulate a companion's body surface. While grooming has been associated with important social functions, researchers who have examined its physical characteristics, such as body site...

Reproductive performance in capture-acclimated female rhesus monkeys

Animals quickly learn to extend their legs [while being restrained to the front of the transport box] and after only a few trials volunteer their legs readily.

Triadic interactions in captive Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvana): “”Agonistic buffering””

This study presents data on the expression of male-immature triadic interactions, previously termed agonistic buffering, in a captiveMacaca sylvanusgroup. Agonistic buffering has been hypothesized as inhibiting or modifying the expression of aggression. This was tested by examining (1) the dominance...

A flexible restraint chair for the cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis)

There is a general consensus that restraint chairs should be used only where necessary, since they inherently cause monkeys physical and emotional stress. Authors found that the animals showed restless sleeping patterns which persisted despite our attempts to adapt the...
