Quantitative data on training new world primates to urinate

Article Abstract:

The effectiveness of operant conditioning in training three species of captive callitrichid primates to urinate on demand is assessed. The results demonstrate that operant conditioning techniques, which typically incur minimal cost, time investment, and disturbance can be used to increase the quantity of urine samples collected for physiological analysis, the proportion of animals that urinate, and the speed of sample collection.
