Abstract

Illumination should be uniform and sufficient for adequate inspection of animals and safe working conditions for personnel, but not obtrusive to the well-being of the animals. p 12 Restraint procedures should be used only when less stressful alternatives are not feasible. p. 16 Primates of many species can be trained for sample procedures, such as presenting a limb for a blood collection, and such training is advocated whenever possible, using positive reinforcement. p. 16
