Abstract

Behaviours taught were target training to allow in homecage weighing and providing urine samples from 12 pairs of marmosets. Between 2 to 13, 10-minute training sessions established desired behaviors. .. Trained animals proved extremely reliable, and data collection using trained animals was considerably faster than collection using current laboratory techniques.
