Long-acting deslorelin implants to control aggression in male lion-tailed macaques (Macaca silenus)

摘要

All male groupings are problematic for most mammalian species housed in zoological institutions. Aggression between males often necessitates housing them individually without visual contact with each other for long periods of time. This can lead to behavioral problems and also takes up valuable holding space. Control of aggression between males is highly desirable since it allows males to be housed together.
