Observations on acute gastric dilatation in nonhuman primates

Changes in Food Intake and Abnormal Behavior Using a Puzzle Feeder in Newly Acquired Sub-Adult Rhesus Monkeys (Macaca mulatta): A Short Term Study

“…When laboratory primates are relocated to a new environment, they must adapt to a variety of stresses including temperature, humidity, water, food and cage size. Sauzeat et al have mentioned that acute gastric dilatation in nonhuman primates can be induced by predisposing factors such as environmental disturbances, food in pellets, feeding schedules and behavior [13]. Similary, various stresses may affect the food intake and temperament of the animals.…”
