TITLE: Training Corral-Living Rhesus Monkeys for Fecal and Blood Sample Collection
SOURCE: Produced by M. R. Clarke, K. M. Phillippi, J. A. Falkenstein, E. A. Moran, Tulane Regional Primate Research Center and S. J. Suomi, Laboratory Comparative Ethology, NICHD. Copyright 1990 Jeff Falkenstein Productions. Distributed by the Tulane Regional Primate Research Center.
PHYSDES: VHS; col., sd.; 27 min.: 1990
ABSTRACT: This videotape shows the acclimation techniques employed to reduce stress for corral-living rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) when collecting fecal and blood samples. The monkeys are given food rewards in return for defecation in single holding cages. They are also trained to extend their leg through a modified squeeze cage for unanesthetized bleeding from the saphenous vein. Once the acclimation is completed, the animals are shown to be relaxed during the procedure. One adult female continued to nurse her neonate infant through the venipuncture. This behavior modification is intended to reduce stress and increase safety for the animals and the technicians.

This tape also provides a look at the corral facility at the Tulane Regional Primate Research Center at Tulane University.

CALL NUMBER: VT0273
TITLE: Environmental Enrichment: Advancing Animal Care
SOURCE: Produced by Countrywise Communication. Distributed by Universities Federation for Animal Welfare
PHYSDES: VHS; col., sd.; 37 min.: 1990, w/ text
ABSTRACT: Allowing animals to behave naturally in captivity is a need that has only recently been met. Exhibits and environmental conditions are being based upon observations of animals in their natural habitats. This videotape (presented in three titled sections) is designed to provide instruction and promote discussion of environmental enrichment procedures for animals in zoos, laboratories, and farms, and pet animals.

Examples of enrichment include providing foraging for some animals, a variety of foods, providing space with items meaningful to the animal, providing companionship, providing elements of unpredictability, and providing choice in temperature, light and weather.

Common marmosets are shown in a specific example in which they are provided with hidden food to encourage foraging behavior in order to reduce cage circling behavior.

Other primates shown include chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, gibbons, pygmy marmoset, cotton-top tamarins, ring-tailed lemurs, and macaques.

CALL NUMBER: VT0299
TITLE: Training Medical Behaviors in Orang-utans at Brookfield Zoo
SOURCE: Produced by the Brookfield Zoo, Chicago Zoological Society. Distributed by Ceil Wilson, Brookfield Zoo, 3300 Gold Road, Chicago, IL 60513
PHYSDES: VHS; col., sd.; 10 min.: 1989
ABSTRACT: In 1987, adult orangutans Sam and Katie were diagnosed with diabetes. Diet and oral medication did not control the diabetes so insulin injections were necessary. Use of positive reinforcement - with a variety of foods and soft drinks as rewards - was employed to condition Sam and Katie to voluntarily receive their injections. This program shows the various steps in this conditioning which culminated in the use of verbal commands such as "elbow" and "hold" to get the orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) to assume a position that allowed for the injections.
