Rhesus Macaque Socialization and Enrichment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Subjects were N = 14 adult (7 females and 7 males, median age: 12.65, range 9–14) rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta), born at the CNPRC and raised by their mothers in large outdoor multi-male multi-female groups. At the time of enrollment for the experiment, monkeys underwent physical examinations prior to check for the absence of health problems and normal sensorial capabilities. During the experiment, all the adult animals were socially housed in mixed-sex pairs with a compatible partner, each having access to a standard adult macaque laboratory cage (66 cm wide × 61 cm long × 81 cm high) and their partner’s cage. They were either paired continuously or for 6 h per day according to their ability to share food.
The housing room was maintained on a 12:12 LD cycle with lights on at 0600. Monkeys were fed monkey chow (Lab Diet #5047, PMI Nutrition International INC, Brentwood, MO) twice daily and provided with fresh fruits and vegetables twice per week. Water was accessible ad libitum. Animals additionally received food enrichment (daily cereal mix delivery on their forage boards, periodic delivery of fruits and vegetables in puzzle balls and puzzle tubes, monthly provision of fresh coconuts) and daily access to a toy (Kong rubber toy, Nylabone chew toys, or metal balls).

Primate Social Housing Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Subjects were 6 adult male rhesus macaques (M=7.39, SD=1.29) that were born into large, semi-naturalistic social groups (ranging from 60–150 monkeys/group living in 0.2 hA; 30.5 m × 61.0 m × 2.4 m) at the CNPRC. All subjects lived in these groups for at least 2 years before being relocated in to indoor housing. Due to compatibility issues, one animal had no access to a social partner during the duration of his participation in the experiment. The other animals were paired with a compatible male social partner and housed in standard caging (size based on animal weight). They had access to their social partner either 6 hours per day, 5-days a week, or 24hours/day depending on pair compatibility. Pairs were allowed to interact either in full contact or restricted contact through a one-inch mesh grate. Animal rooms were maintained at 17.78–28.89°C and on a 12/12 light/dark cycle (lights on at 0600). Subjects were fed twice daily (Lab Diet #5047, PMI Nutrition International INC, Brentwood, MO), provided with fresh produce biweekly, had access to water ad libitum and a variety of enrichment devices.

Primate Social Development Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

All infants were born at term, raised with their mothers and provided three hours daily access to a social group consisting of four mother-infant pairs and one adult male to facilitate species-typical social development. Infants were raised in individual cages with their mothers where they had visual access to other animals at all times. Infants were weaned at 6-months of age, but continued daily peer group interactions through approximately 2-years of age. At the time of the current study, all animals were housed indoors in social MIA/CON pairs 24 h per day, 7 days per week. These pairs occupied two adjacent, age-appropriate laboratory cages where they had visual access to other animals. Animal rooms were maintained at 17.78–28.89 °C and on a 12/12 light/dark cycle (lights on at 0600). Subjects were fed twice daily (Lab Diet #5047, PMI Nutrition International INC, Brentwood, MO), provided with fresh produce biweekly, had access to water ad libitum and a variety of enrichment devices.

All infants were born at term, raised with their mothers, and provided three hours daily access to a social group consisting of four mother-infant pairs and one adult male to facilitate species-typical social development. Infants were raised in individual cages with their mothers, where they had continuous visual access to other animals. Infants were weaned at 6 months of age but continued daily peer group interactions through approximately 2 years of age. At the time of tissue collection, all animals were housed indoors in social MIA/control pairs 24 h per day, 7 days per week. These pairs occupied two adjacent, age-appropriate laboratory cages where they had visual access to other animals. Animal rooms were maintained at 17.78–28.89 °C and on a 12/12 light/dark cycle (lights on at 0600). Subjects were fed twice daily (Lab Diet #5047, PMI Nutrition International Inc, Brentwood, MO), provided with fresh produce biweekly, had access to water ad libitum and a variety of enrichment devices. Animals participated in a variety of behavioral tests throughout development as described in behavioral (Bauman et al., 2014 (link); Machado et al., 2015 (link); Rose et al., 2017 (link)) and neuroimaging (Bauman et al., 2019 (link)) studies.

Captive Rhesus Monkey Housing and Care

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Subjects were eleven male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta), 7–11 years old (mean = 11.67, SD = 0.90), all weighing between 10–18 kg (mean = 13.79, SD = 1.87) at time of testing. Each subject was born at the CNPRC and lived for at least 2 years in a half-acre outdoor enclosure that included between 60 and 120 other monkeys. Subjects were moved indoors at an average age of 4.89 years (SD = 0.94 years). Once relocated indoors, each animal was housed in a standard adult macaque laboratory cage (66 cm width × 61 cm length × 81 cm height) and socialized with a monkey in the adjacent cage. Following standard CNPRC protocols and depending on the relationship between the two animals, daily socialization was either full, unrestrained interactions in either of the two adjoining cages or restricted to mostly visual interaction through a metal grate (moderate tactile access was also possible) for at least six hours a day. The housing room was maintained on a 12-h light/dark cycle. All animals were maintained on a diet of fresh fruit, vegetables and monkey chow (Lab Diet #5047, PMI Nutrition International Inc., Brentwood, MO), with water available ad libitum. Supplemental fruit and other foraging materials such as sunflower seeds as well as chew toys were provided daily and the room received regular enrichment in the form of other enrichment devices (tubes filled with produce) and videos.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
