Abstract

Training technique by which an adult, single-housed male baboon learned to offer his arm through a pothole and accept intramuscular injection in this home cage is described and the result demonstrated with a photo. Injection was reliably obtained after approximately nine one-hour training sessions distributed over a three-week period.
