    A novel three-tiered cage design for baboons significantly improves animal handling efficiency. This innovative squeeze and transfer cage allows a single handler to manage tasks previously needing multiple personnel.

    Area of Science:

    • Primate research
    • Animal welfare science
    • Laboratory animal technology

    Background:

    • Efficient and safe handling of non-human primates is crucial for research.
    • Traditional methods for baboon handling often require multiple personnel, increasing costs and potential risks.
    • Need for improved infrastructure in primate facilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the design and utility of a new three-tiered combination squeeze and transfer cage for baboons.
    • To evaluate the cage's effectiveness in improving handler efficiency and safety.
    • To present a novel solution for optimizing baboon management in research settings.

    Main Methods:

    • Construction of a custom-designed, three-tiered cage system.
    • Integration of squeeze and transfer mechanisms within the cage tiers.
