Baboons are widely used in biomedical research but their size and behaviour present potential problems with accessibility. A unique system has been developed that ensures ease of access to all animals in a colony of Papio hamadryas. Two distinct caging complexes were linked by a network of overhead races, that are connected to a physical restraint area where individual animals could be separated, restrained and weighed without being handled. Access to and separation of individual family groups was achieved in this manner. This race system proved to be time effective, simple, sturdy, safe and hygienic.
狒狒在生物医学研究中被广泛使用，但它们的体型和行为给接近它们带来了潜在问题。已开发出一种独特的系统，可确保轻松接近阿拉伯狒狒群体中的所有动物。两个不同的笼舍综合体通过高架通道网络相连，这些通道连接到一个物理约束区域，在该区域可以将个体动物分开、约束并称重，而无需人工处理。通过这种方式实现了对各个家庭群体的接近和分离。这种通道系统被证明是省时、简单、坚固、安全且卫生的。
