The effect of four enrichment conditions on abnormal behavior in seven singly caged baboons (Papio hamadryas anubis)

Seven singly caged juvenile baboons were selected for behavioral intervention due to the severity of their abnormal behavior. Continuous all occurrence sampling method determined durations of abnormal and common behaviors throughout the ten-week study. Analysis of baseline behavior (fifteen 30-minute...

Cortisol responses to immobilization with Telazol and ketamine in baboons (Papio cynocephalus/anubis) rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)

The injection and blood sampling process increased cortisol levels in monkeys not trained to extend an arm but exerted no effect on cortisol in trained macaques. Thus, the animals' physiological responses to blood sampling and immobilization are influenced by such...

Positive reinforcement training as a refinement of a macaque biliary diversion model

Animals that adapted to wearing jackets were surgically implanted with a biliary diversion cannula system, a venous cannula and three subcutaneous access ports. .. The animals [three females and nine male rhesus] were trained to present the pouch and to...

The puzzle-feeder as feeding enrichment for common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus): a pilot study

The use of a puzzle-feeder, as feeding enrichment, was investigated in three families of captive common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus). The study was carried out as a simultaneous choice test between two cages: one contained the puzzle-feeder, the other contained the...

Diet-based enrichment ideas for small primates

Based on our findings, we have fine-tuned our enrichment programme for these species, and activity rates, as well as the general health of the animals, have improved accordingly. No data are included in this article.
