In the movie the monkey test subject lab animal goes into convulsions after receiving the serum. I dont know, can you train a monkey to do that? or do you think that in 1973 they just tortured the monkey into convulsions? To me it was the most disturbing thing to watch happen in this film.

No. Your question really bothered me, so I did some research. The AHA monitored the film. They have been monitoring movies involving animal actors since 1940. So rest easy, it was special effects. I have to agree though, I hate to see animal cruelty in a film. And although I love horror movies, it seems to be particularly prevalant in that genre.
