This study provides essential management and handling guidelines for New World monkeys, including marmosets and squirrel monkeys, to improve their use as research models. These guidelines address common challenges, promoting better animal welfare and research outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Primatology
  • Laboratory Animal Science

Background:

  • New World monkeys are valuable research models due to their size and low zoonotic risk.
  • Historical perceptions of difficulty in managing these species have limited their research application.
  • Key species include marmosets, squirrel monkeys, owl monkeys, and titi monkeys.

Framework:

  • This work establishes foundational guidelines for the humane and effective management of commonly researched New World monkeys.
  • The framework emphasizes practical approaches to minimize stress and ensure safety for both animals and researchers.

Implementation:

  • Guidelines cover critical aspects such as transport, acclimation, and social group integration.
  • Specific protocols are detailed for capture, restraint, anesthesia, and post-procedural care.
