As a small-bodied neotropical nonhuman primate species, common marmosets have unique requirements for adequate husbandry and veterinary care to ensure proper maintenance and to promote good animal welfare in a biomedical research setting. Environmental conditions, as well as medical and research-related manipulations, can impact marmoset welfare. Research focus areas, including basic neuroscience, transgenics, and aging, involve additional implications for marmoset welfare. This manuscript provides a comprehensive review of factors that should be considered and mitigated as needed by clinical and research staff working with marmosets in biomedical research facilities to optimize the welfare of captive marmosets.
作为一种体型较小的新热带非人类灵长类动物，普通狨猴对适当的饲养管理和兽医护理有独特的要求，以确保在生物医学研究环境中得到妥善照料并促进良好的动物福利。环境条件以及与医学和研究相关的操作都会影响狨猴的福利。包括基础神经科学、转基因和衰老等在内的研究重点领域，对狨猴福利还有其他影响。本手稿全面综述了生物医学研究设施中与狨猴打交道的临床和研究人员应考虑并根据需要减轻的因素，以优化圈养狨猴的福利。
