Obohacení prostředí a welfare laboratorních makaků

Original language description

From the findings based on the observations of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) in the laboratory breeding, and observations of barbary macaques (Macaca sylvana) 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 if it would be really effective, we must combine more types of enriching item, because macaques will quickly loose interest in toys. The comparison ofall three types of housing brings interesting results, mainly in angle of composition of behaviour. Locomotive behaviour is in the condition of zoo runs composed mainly by active movement. Social environment, is mostly applied in zoo, too. But it is necessary to become aware of fact, that laboratory breeds cannot provide full natural species-specific behaviour of animals, because there are limitations based on the types of many different experiments. But these experiments are inevitable
