Improving Welfare Through Enrichment: A Case Study in Aged Ex-Laboratory Rhesus Macaques

2026-05-08

Rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) are widely used as non-human primate models for biomedical research. When housed in captivity, it is essential to provide an environment that supports their natural behaviours; otherwise, they risk developing mood disorders, stereotypies, and other behavioural issues that may lead to physical harm. The objective of this preliminary study was to monitor the behaviour of three aged r...
