Abstract
Cortisol response of ten single‐caged adult female rhesus monkeys during venipuncture in a restraint apparatus was compared with Cortisol response of ten paired and five single‐caged adult female rhesus monkeys during venipuncture in the homecage. Results demonstrated that in‐homecagc venipuncture offers a methodological improvement for research protocols that require blood collection of undisturbed animals.Keywords
