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.Laboratory animal management.Rodents as laboratory animalsRodents as laboratory animals.619/.93Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources (U.S.).Committee on Rodents.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778793303321Rodents2702630UNINA
