Electric Barrier Fencing for Primates (2004)

Hunt, A.

Abstract

In the past it was considered impossible to contain primates, unless confined in cages. Alternatives were too expensive to build and usually consisted of high unscalable walls, motes or panes of smooth surfaced material to prevent primates from climbing out of their enclosures. This has meant that primates had to be housed in small and expensive caged areas that had to be artificially enriched.The advent of electric fencing provided the means to cheaply erect fences that could enclose large areas and allow for a more naturally enriched environment.
