Voluntary cooperation in artificial insemination procedures with drill baboons

Nadine was temporarily housed alone, so behavioral work was conducted to combat boredom, increase sensory stimulation, and pursue voluntary cooperation in artificial insemination procedures. This work culminated on April 4 and 5 of this year when Nadine was inseminated three...

Welfare and housing of old world non-human primates (Macaca fascicularis and Papio sp.)

Increased cage height and social housing were found to be particularly effective ways of increasing the animals' expression of species-typical behaviors.

Long term animal studies

In the interim holding facility the [guenons] animals spent [only] 2% of their time on the ground, 83% in the mid levels, and 15% climbing across the roof.

Examination of various foraging components and their suitability as enrichment tools for captively housed primates

Vertically mounted foraging racks are beneficial because they increased locomotion, decreased hoarding, and appeared to increase the [group-housed] animals' interest in the feeding task.

The effect of cage size on the behavior of individually housed rhesus monkeys

The notion that a larger cage size for individually housed nonhuman primates would in and of itself be behaviorally beneficial to the inhabitants was not supported by this study.
