Nursery-reared infant rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) have a relatively high risk of aspiration pneumonia because they are typically fed using kitten bottles or syringes or by gavage. These feeding techniques also have the disadvantage of making it difficult to determine how much formula an infant actually consumes. To address these concerns, the authors developed a refined feeding device for infant macaques. Use of this device resulted in no cases of aspiration pneumonia or other feeding-related health complications. The authors conclude that the refined device is a safe and effective way to feed infant macaques.
笼养幼年恒河猴（Macaca mulatta）因通常使用猫奶瓶或注射器，或通过灌胃来喂养，故有较高的吸入性肺炎风险。这些喂养技术也有一个缺点，即难以确定婴儿实际消耗了多少配方奶。为了解决这些问题，作者为幼年恒河猴开发了一种改良的喂养装置。使用该装置后，没有发生吸入性肺炎或其他与喂养相关的健康并发症。作者得出结论，改良装置是喂养幼年恒河猴的一种安全有效的方法。
