    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Science
    • Animal Welfare
    • Laboratory Animal Science

    Background:

    • Efficient and safe handling of non-human primates is crucial for research.
    • Existing containment and transport methods may pose challenges for personnel and animals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and construct a mobile cage system for primate transport and handling.
    • To incorporate features that facilitate single-operator use and enhance safety.

    Main Methods:

    • Construction of a mobile cage equipped with a guillotine door, ventilation, and locking casters.
    • Integration of a squeeze mechanism operable by a single individual.

    Main Results:

    • The mobile-transport-squeeze cage was successfully built.
    • The squeeze apparatus was confirmed to be operable by one person.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed cage offers a practical solution for mobile primate containment and handling.
    • This innovation has the potential to improve safety and efficiency in primate research and transport.
