PRIMADAPTION WORKSHOP: TRAINING AND ENRICHMENT THAT IS CONSTANTLY EVOLVING TO MEET THE REALISTIC NEEDS OF NON-HUMAN PRIMATES IN LABORATORY SETTINGS |
| May 7, 2012 - May 10, 2012 |
| Location: | Panther Tracks Learning Center, Immokalee, FL |
| Sponsor: | Primate Products |
| Focus: | Primadaption is a training and enrichment concept based on the idea that traditional or formal methods of training and enrichment for captive NHP are not always compatible with the resources that are available at many facilities, and therefore, it is necessary to tweak those methods so that it is possible to achieve the desired results within the set means. The ultimate goal is to create a realistic program that has room to change and grow, but is capable of being easily instituted at the specified facility. |
| Registration Fee: | $1250 (double occupancy room); $1450 (single occupancy room) |
