To train Tibetan monkey (Macaca thibetana) for intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement in conscious state and obtain normal IOP in conscious Tibetan Macaque.
The training was based on award-conditioned behavior. Food stimulation and human-animal interaction were used in this training.
Trained Tibetan monkeys calmly accepted IOP measurement by the TonoVet® rebound tonometer without sedation or anesthesia and their IOP values were similar to other primates.
Human-cultivated Thibetan monkeys are tamable, and can be used for biomedical research such as ophthalmic research without anesthesia.
训练藏猕猴在清醒状态下测量眼压,并获取清醒藏猕猴的正常眼压。
训练基于奖励条件行为。本训练采用食物刺激和人猴互动。
经过训练的藏猕猴在未使用镇静或麻醉的情况下,能平静地接受TonoVet®回弹式眼压计测量眼压,其眼压值与其他灵长类动物相似。
人工饲养的藏猕猴是可驯化的,可用于无需麻醉的生物医学研究,如眼科研究。
