  • Title: Working with rather than against macaques during blood collection.
    Author: Reinhardt V.
    Journal: J Appl Anim Welf Sci; 2003; 6(3):189-97. PubMed ID: 14612267.
    Abstract:
    Training macaques to cooperate during blood collection is a practicable and safe alternative to the traditional procedure implying forced restraint. It takes a cumulative total of about 1 hr to train an adult female or adult male rhesus macaque successfully to present a leg voluntarily and accept venipuncture in the homecage. Cooperative animals do not show the significant cortisol response and defensive reactions that typically occur in animals who are forcibly restrained during this common procedure.
