    This study presents a cost-effective primate restraint device for rhesus monkeys, enabling easy handling without anesthesia or force. The novel apparatus facilitates daily animal transfers with minimal conditioning, improving research efficiency.

    Area of Science:

    • Primate research
    • Animal behavior
    • Laboratory animal science

    Background:

    • Standard primate chairs can be expensive and require anesthesia for restraint.
    • Handling rhesus monkeys often involves stress, force, or chronic restraint methods.
    • There is a need for practical, non-invasive methods for restraining non-human primates in research settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel, inexpensive apparatus for restraining rhesus monkeys.
    • To provide a method for easy removal and handling of rhesus monkeys from home cages.
    • To enable restraint without the use of anesthesia or excessive force.

    Main Methods:

    • A portable, adjustable Plexiglas cage is used to train rhesus monkeys to enter voluntarily.
    • Animals are trained to avoid a squeeze mechanism by entering the portable cage.

  • Head restraint is achieved using poles attached to a lightweight, permanently worn collar.

    • Main Results:

    • The described apparatus offers a practical and inexpensive alternative to standard primate chairs.
    • The method allows for easy removal of rhesus monkeys from their home cages.
    • Restraint can be achieved without anesthesia, unnecessary force, or chronic restraint.

    Conclusions:

    • This technique facilitates daily handling and transfer of rhesus monkeys with minimal conditioning.
    • The apparatus improves investigator ability to work with restrained animals humanely.
    • The described method offers a valuable tool for primate research, enhancing animal welfare and operational efficiency.
