M. A. Truelove, J. E. Martin, et al.
This study presents a novel approach to identifying effective welfare indicators for laboratory-housed macaques using a Delphi consultation process. Led by researchers Melissa A. Truelove and colleagues, findings reveal that environment-based measures were significantly more validated compared to animal-based measures. Self-harm behaviors and social enrichment emerged as critical indicators, emphasizing the balance needed for accurate welfare monitoring.
