Abstract

Training techniques are described to gain the cooperation of a 3-year old female chimpanzee in obtaining blood and urine samples. The first blood draw occurred during the 18th training session, with a total of 275 minutes invested prior to that. The first successful [urine] collection occurred in session 4 in less than 4 min after a total of 42 min of training time.
