Else, J. G., Tarara, R., Suleman, M. A. et al. 1986. Enclosure design and reproductive success of baboons used for reproductive research in Kenya. Laboratory Animal Science 36, 168-172.

A total of 75 female and six male wild caught olive baboons were placed in three enclosures. Single cages were attached to the main enclosure to allow separation of individual group members for sample collection and other reasons. The purpose of such a design was to decrease the stress, resulting from isolating group members and to alleviate problems involved with subsequent reintroduction to the group. The females were introduced first to the cage and given an opportunity to stabilize. The males, whose canine teeth had been cut, were paired for at least one week prior to placement with females. ... Eight animals were removed within the first month due to fight wounds and general incompatibility with cage mates....The reproductive success of these group-caged animals is higher than those animals maintained at the Institute in individual cages and timed mated.
