Used on Saki Monkeys
We have used the 160 watt bulb over some of our South American monkeys for the past 15 months. Our 2 pairs of white-faced Saki monkeys (Pithecia pithecia) gave birth to 2 healthy babies while under Active UV Heat. Both babies had physical exams recently and showed that they are in good health. Of particular interest to the zoo was the fact that the radiographs showed that the skeletal growth was healthy and showed no signs of metabolic bone disease. One pair's lighting was with fluorescent tubes, 1 infrared heat lamp and the 160 watt Active UV Heat bulb. The other pair's lights was 2 UV transmitting sky lights, 1 infrared heat lamp and one 160 watt Active UV Heat bulb. In the past we have had some occurances of metabolic bone disease in our young Saki monkeys. I feel the Active UV Heat bulb has helped in the rearing of heathy baby Saki monkeys.
