Enhancing postsurgical recovery of pair-housed nonhuman primates (M. fascicularis)

In many facilities, postsurgical protocol in the nonhuman primate requires individual housing for a period of 2-10 days. ... Our goal was to allow [15 adult females] same-day return of the postoperative [placement of vascular access port] candidate to its...

A comparison of the activity budgets of wild and captive Sulawesi crested black macaques (Macaca nigra)

One aim of environmental enrichment techniques is to replicate 'wild-like' behaviour in captivity. In this study. three captive troops of Sulawesi crested black macaques (Macaca nigra) were each observed for 100 h in large naturalistic enclosures. Activity budgets constructed from...

Incorporation of an enrichment program into a study protocol involving long-term restraint in macaques

In our experience, the provision of periodic intervals of unrestricted activity directly correlated with an increased tolerance during relatively more extended periods of [chair] restraint.
