Effective Strategy for Evaluating Tactile Enrichment Devices for Singly Caged Macaques.

Contemporary topics in laboratory animal science

Rice TR, Harvey H, Kayheart R, Torres C.
PMID: 12086411
Contemp Top Lab Anim Sci. 1999 Sep;38(5):24-26.

Since the mandate for providing environmental enrichment for nonhuman primates was included in the Animal Welfare Act, numerous articles and suggestions have been put forth covering tactile devices and creative cage arrangements. For larger primate facilities and research programs...

Puzzle Feeders and Gum Feeders as Environmental Enrichment for Common Marmosets.

Contemporary topics in laboratory animal science

Roberts RL, Roytburd LA, Newman JD.
PMID: 12086412
Contemp Top Lab Anim Sci. 1999 Sep;38(5):27-31.

Common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus jacchus) are highly social New World monkeys that consume a principally gummivorous and insectivorous diet. We examined the efficacy of two types of foraging devices, Puzzle-Feeders(tm) and gum feeders, as environmental enrichment for marmosets housed...

A Modified Cage to Minimize Catheter Contamination in the Chronically Catheterized Baboon.

Contemporary topics in laboratory animal science

Halliday LC, Fortman JD, Nelson MC, Bartholomew AM, Hoffman R, Bennett BT.
PMID: 12086422
Contemp Top Lab Anim Sci. 1999 Jul;38(4):16-19.

Here we describe modifications made to an 8 sq. ft. aluminum baboon cage to allow removal of a chronically cannulated baboon from the cage without disconnecting the catheter connections. The novel system minimizes potential contamination of the intravenous catheters...

Diagnostic Exercise: Fluffy, White, Cotton Candy-Like Growth on the Gills, Fins, and Skin of Salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum).

Contemporary topics in laboratory animal science

Wardrip CL, Seps SL, Skrocki L, Nguyen L, Waterstrat PR, Li X.
PMID: 12086459
Contemp Top Lab Anim Sci. 1999 Jan;38(1):81-83.

Spontaneous Renal Cell Carcinoma in a New Zealand White Rabbit.

Contemporary topics in laboratory animal science

Durfee WJ, Masters WG, Montgomery CA, Faith RE, McArthur MJ, Geske R.
PMID: 12086462
Contemp Top Lab Anim Sci. 1999 Jan;38(1):89-91.

The incidence of primary renal neoplasia in animals is quite low. Carcinomas are the most common primary renal tumors of dogs, cattle, and sheep. Among rabbit tumors, only uterine adenocarcinomas occur more frequently than do embryonal nephromas. However, spontaneous...

Biomethod for Obtaining Gastric Juice and Serum From the Unanesthetized Guinea Pig (Cavia porcellus).

Contemporary topics in laboratory animal science

Shomer NH, Astrofsky KM, Dangler CA, Fox JG.
PMID: 12086413
Contemp Top Lab Anim Sci. 1999 Sep;38(5):32-35.

Blood sample collection and gastric intubation of guinea pigs have been considered difficult techniques that require anesthesia. We developed methods to sample blood and gastric juice from manually restrained, unanesthetized guinea pigs. To collect gastric juice, the guinea pig...

A Nonsurgical Method for the Placement of Transpyloric (Nasoenteric) Feeding Tubes Using Fluoroscopic Guidance in Dogs.

Contemporary topics in laboratory animal science

Wohl JS, Hudson JA, Larocca TJ.
PMID: 12086437
Contemp Top Lab Anim Sci. 1999 Mar;38(2):65-68.

Transpyloric tube feeding is a commonly used form of nutritional support when patients are unable to tolerate oral or gastric feeding. Although nasoenteric placement of transpyloric feeding tubes is usually accomplished in humans, anatomic variations in laboratory species have...

The Importance of Keeping the "Science" in the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science.

Contemporary topics in laboratory animal science

A Chronic Arterial Cannula for Blood Sampling in Conscious, Unrestrained Rats.

Contemporary topics in laboratory animal science

Martineau L, Ducharme MB.
PMID: 12456136
Contemp Top Lab Anim Sci. 1998 Sep;37(5):67-72.

We require repeated blood samples for at least 10 days from conscious, unrestrained rats in our studies investigating the inflammatory response to intra-abdominal infection. Furthermore, we require a means by which other experimental devices (implanted concurrently) can be kept...

Short-term Care of White-tailed Deer Fawns (Odocoileus virginianus) in a Conventional Laboratory Animal Facility.

Contemporary topics in laboratory animal science

Kendall LV, Kennett MJ, Fish RE.
PMID: 12456143
Contemp Top Lab Anim Sci. 1998 Sep;37(5):96-100.

Laboratory animal medicine professionals are often required to develop husbandry practices for species not commonly considered for use as laboratory animals. Although protocols exist for management of captive white-tailed deer in an outdoor facility, it was necessary to modify...

A Mouth Speculum for Orogastric Administration ofCompounds to Nonhuman Primates.

Contemporary topics in laboratory animal science

Halliday LC, Fortman JD, Bennett BT.
PMID: 12456151
Contemp Top Lab Anim Sci. 1998 Jul;37(4):76-77.

A mouth speculum for orogastric administration of compounds to nonhuman primates is described here. The speculum allowed the passage of a feeding tube through the mouth of a macaque, while minimizing the risk of injury to the handlers fingers,...

The Effect of Duration of Individual Housing on Social Behavior of Adult Male Bonnet Macaques (Macaca radiata).

Contemporary topics in laboratory animal science

Taylor W, Brown D, Richardson R, Laudenslager M.
PMID: 12456160
Contemp Top Lab Anim Sci. 1998 May;37(3):47-50.

Project constraints often require social primates, such as macaques, to be housed individually. However, we believed the amount of time spent housed alone prior to renewed social exposure would effect an animal's behavior. We observed the behavior of adult...
