A benign method for maintaining ovulatory estrogen levels in cycling rhesus macaques

The goal of this study was to develop a relatively noninvasive technique for generating ovulatory estrogen levels in cycling females over extended periods of time. Eleven intact cycling rhesus macaques were given weekly injections of estradiol cypionate in an effort...

The pole, chain and collar system for handling and training squirrel monkeys

The single-housed subject wears permanent collar and light flexible chain; is caught with a pole which is clipped to the collar. Stress appears to be greatly reduced or eliminated.

The effects of pregnancy and parity number on behavioural and physiological responses related to the welfare status of individual and group-housed pigs

Pigs housed in tether stalls showed immunosuppression suggesting that their welfare was impaired. It was concluded that unresolved aggression in tether-housed pigs may result in a chronic stress response.

Ethical principles for the maintenance and use of animal in neuroscience research

Maintenance of experimental animals should account for species-specific needs of accommodation, activity, feeding and social interactions to the degree possible [p. 1].

The impact of handling and environmental factors on the stress response and its consequences in swine

Animals who are fearful of humans show a marked increase in corticosteroid levels both in the presence and in the absence of people. A poor human-animal relationship, in which swine are fearful of human, should be avoided in animal production...

Effects of management procedures on heart rate in sheep

Sheep show a marked increase in heart rate when isolated from other sheep. When a sheep was separated from other sheep by a fence, she stayed calm as long as she could see her companions. However, if the fence was...
