“…Infants should remain with dams during all transport and long transport events are not recommended for dam–infant pairs. Recommendations for quarantine practices are outlined in Chapter 10 of The Common Marmoset in Captivity and Biomedical Research [ 10 ]. The author recommends use of a formal monitoring system during the initial weeks of quarantine with a minimum of two daily recorded observations to ensure timely interventions, including clinical support, are made as needed.…”

“…The author recommends use of a formal monitoring system during the initial weeks of quarantine with a minimum of two daily recorded observations to ensure timely interventions, including clinical support, are made as needed. General guidelines for continued health monitoring of NHP colonies and specifically marmoset colonies have been published previously [ 10 , 11 ]. Adequate transport, quarantine, and health monitoring practices are key to maintaining healthy marmoset colonies, which supports overall animal well-being.…”

“…A maximum blood volume of 3 mL is recommended for a single blood collection from an adult marmoset [ 50 ]. Techniques for collection of samples including blood samples, skin biopsies, and urine samples, among others have been published as well [ 10 ]. Many samples may be collected without sedation, which limits the impact of sedative drugs on sensitive parameters such as blood hormone levels.…”

As a small-bodied neotropical nonhuman primate species, common marmosets have unique requirements for adequate husbandry and veterinary care to ensure proper maintenance and to promote good animal welfare in a biomedical research setting. Environmental conditions, as well as medical and research-related manipulations, can impact marmoset welfare. Research focus areas, including basic neuroscience, transgenics, and aging, involve additional implications for marmoset welfare. This manuscript provides a comprehensive review of factors that should be considered and mitigated as needed by clinical and research staff working with marmosets in biomedical research facilities to optimize the welfare of captive marmosets.

Common marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus ) are susceptible to intestinal inflammation which leads to chronic diarrhea, weight loss, and vitamin D deficiency. We examined food intake and digestion in three mixed-sex groups of adult marmosets maintained on three commercial base diets. Animals underwent two consecutive 4-day digestion trials. Body mass stayed constant. Feces and diet were assayed for Mn, fat, and gross energy (GE). Apparent digestibility of dry matter (ADDM) was calculated by the total collection method and from dietary and fecal Mn; the methods produced correlated results (r = 0.658, p < 0.001). Apparent digestibility of energy (ADE) was calculated from ADDM and the GE of feces and diet; apparent digestibility of fat (ADfat) was calculated from ADDM and fecal fat. ADDM and ADE varied by diet (p < 0.001). We found poor digesters on all three diets. The concentration of fecal fat was inversely related to ADE (r = −0.729, p < 0.001). High fecal fat (>10%) was associated with ADfat of zero, consistent with lipid malabsorption. Mean digestible energy intake (DEI) was equal to 1.5 the estimated metabolic rate, but varied widely between individuals. The diet with the fewest animals with high fecal fat had the highest mean DEI and most animals above 450 g, suggesting it may be obesogenic.
