Abstract

Four group-housed chimpanzees and two singly-housed adult rhesus macaques of unspecified gender were trained to place an arm in a blood sleeve and remain stationary for venipuncture. It took an average of 219 minutes in 31 sessions to successfully train the chimpanzees and 156 minutes in 32 sessions to successfully train the macaques
