The Comparative Effect of Occupational and Musical Enrichment on Fecal Glucocorticoid Metabolite Levels in a Captive Colony of Stumptail Macaques (<i>Macaca arctoides</i>)

The Comparative Effect of Occupational and Musical Enrichment on Fecal Glucocorticoid Metabolite Levels in a Captive Colony of Stumptail Macaques (<i>Macaca arctoides</i>)

Environmental enrichment improves captive animal welfare by reducing stress-related behaviors. Previous studies in a captive colony of stumptail macaques (<i>Macaca arctoides</i>) reported a reduction of aggression, coprophilia, and stereotypic behaviors after an occupational enrichment...
