Abstract
Two schedules for separation of infant rhesus monkeys from the mother and weaning from a milk substitute are presented. Body weight increased more rapidly in infants who were separated early from their mothers. The chief advantages of this method are the early resumption of menstrual cycles in the mature females and rapid adjustment to human handling and care in the infants.
