Efficacy of auditory enrichment in a prosimian primate (Otolemur garnettii) / David B. Hanbury in LabAnimal-Europe, 5/09 (mai 2009)

Public ISBD [article]  inLabAnimal-Europe > 5/09 (mai 2009) . - p. 18-21 Titre : Efficacy of auditory enrichment in a prosimian primate (Otolemur garnettii) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : David B. Hanbury Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p. 18-21 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Research suggests that auditory environmental enrichment might reduce abnormal behavior in certain primate species. The authors evaluated the behavioral effects of exposure to music in a prosimian primate (Garnett's bushbaby; Otolemur garnettii). They exposed bushbabies to a Mozart concerto for 15 min per day for 20 d (5 h exposure total), video-recorded them and subsequently analyzed the frequency of subjects' grooming and stereotypic behaviors. The authors compared the data with baseline behavioral data that had been recorded over a 20-d period before the experimental treatment. Neither stereotypy nor grooming behavior varied as a result of exposure to music. These results do not support the hypothesis that auditory enrichment in the form of exposure to music is an effective means of reducing stereotypic behavior in O. garnettii.
