Implementing housing refinements in a rhesus macaque colony

Keeping rhesus macaques alone in barren cages and applying forced restraint during blood collection is a distressing experience for the animals. Refinement techniques were, therefore, developed and an attempt made to implement them in a biomedical research facility with 728...

The effect of relocation on nighttime activity and salivary cortisol in sinlgy-housed male Macaca mulatta with and without a record of self-injury

These results suggest that relocation can cause an increase in stress. SIB subjects experienced significantly more sleep disturbance after being moved to a new building than non-SIB animals.

Primate pairing under less than ideal circumstances

Of the six male cynomolgus monkeys in our group, we were able to create three stable pairs. The animals share food, and although we have had some minor bumps and bruises, there have been no serious injuries. We later reproduced...
