Mortality rates per year were reduced from 13.4% to 3.5% when monkeys were maintained in permanent harems to which returning females were reintroduced compared to new social groups formed from aggregates of unfamiliar animals.

Normal serum biochemical, hematological, and EKG parameters in anesthetized adult male Macaca fascicularis and Macaca arctoides

Author underscores undesirable variations in serum biochemical and hematological parameters in macaques and suggests that incongruities between values presented in different reports may be due to a variety of factors including the method of restraint during handling procedures.
