Synopsis

This reference is for all those new to and involved with animal experimentation. It provides information on the biology and husbandry of commonly used species, and introduces the reader to popular experimental procedures, including anaesthesia and post-operative care. Emphasizing the need for good practice, the book aims to enhance welfare by improving techniques. Suitable for those taking Home Office licensee training in the UK, it also provides a useful reference for all working in the area of animal experimentation. The book should be of interest to Home Office licensees both in training and established, their equivalents outside the UK, animal technologists and all those involved with the use of animals in biomedical research. There are now many courses in place at institutions which are compulsory under recent legislation.

Présentation de l'éditeur

As a completely revised and updated edition, this essential handbook has been written for all those working with animals under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986. Designed to be a bench–top reference, it contains useful information covering all aspects of laboratory animal care and use and is aimed at improving animal welfare through encouragement of best practice and refinement of techniques. Section one covers principles applicable to all species, including legislation and ethical considerations, health and safety, supply and transport of animals, minor techniques, and an introduction to anaesthesia and surgery. Section two covers biology, husbandry, health monitoring and common diseases and is species based for ease of reference. Both large and small laboratory animals are included, and there is new information covering wild and exotic species and birds.
