We examined the effects of a synthetic fleece pad on cage stereotypies in individually housed cynomolgus monkeys. Animals which received the fleece alone engaged in grooming which was associated with an increase in time spent resting. Monkeys given fleece pads sprinkled with morsels of food did not groom the fleece, but rather foraged for long periods (up to 27 min/h). Stereotyped behaviours were reduced by up to 73% by use of the fleece pad both alone and with foraging crumbles.
我们研究了合成羊毛垫对单独饲养的食蟹猴笼内刻板行为的影响。仅接受羊毛垫的动物会进行梳理毛发行为，这与休息时间增加有关。给予撒有食物碎块的羊毛垫的猴子不会梳理羊毛垫，而是长时间觅食（长达每小时27分钟）。单独使用羊毛垫以及与觅食碎块一起使用时，刻板行为减少了多达73%。
