Environmental structure, welfare and behavior of rhesus- (Macaca mulatta) and barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) in conditions of laboratory breeding, zoo and free ranging

Original language description

Rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) and barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus) are very often bred species of primates both in zoological gardens and in laboratory primates breeding centres. From the findings based on the observations of rhesus macaques in the laboratory breeding, and observations of barbary macaques in the conditions of zoo egress and free outdoor enclosure with the different type of enrichment, we can say that the enrichment of the cages results in expressively increased activity, although ifit would be really effective, we must combine more types of enriching item, because macaques will quickly loose interest in toys. But every type of enrichment is welcomed. The comparison of all three types of housing brings interesting results, mainly inangle of composition of behaviour. Locomotive behaviour is in the condition of zoo runs composed mainly by active movement. Social environment, which is very important for all primates, is mostly applied in zoo, too. But it is necessary
