Produktbeschreibung
During the 15 years since the Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources issued its last report on the general management of rodents, advances in biomedical technology and increased public awareness of laboratory animal issues have created a new research environment. This book brings researchers up to date on both of these aspects of laboratory investigation and provides a comprehensive resource manual for management of laboratory rodents. It reviews relevant laws and ethical considerations, and it examines the role and responsibilities of mandatory institutional animal care and use committees. The expert panel addresses animal selection, sources of laboratory rodents, nomenclature and record keeping, management of genetically and nongenetically defined colonies, and management of animals with special needs. Investigators will find detailed guidance on housing, environment, sanitation, diet and caloric restriction, and facilities design.
