There is a confusing patchwork of local, national, and international regulations; a perceived lack of high-quality shipping services; a dearth of science-based good practices; and a lack of biosafety standards. It (TM)s a challenge "and an impediment to biomedical research. Guidelines for the Humane Transportation of Research Animals identifies the current problems encountered in the transportation of research animals and offers recommendations aimed at local and federal officials to rectify these problems. This book also includes a set of good practices based on the extensive body of literature on transportation of agricultural animals, universal concepts of physiology, and a scientific understanding of species-specific needs and differences. Good practices were developed by the committee to address thermal environment, space requirements, food and water requirements, social interaction, monitoring of transportation, emergency procedures, personnel training, and biosecurity. Guidelines for the Humane Transportation of Research Animals is an essential guide for all researchers, animal care technicians, facilities managers, administrators, and animal care and use committees at research institutions. 606 $aLaboratory animals$xTransportation 606 $aVivisection 615 0$aLaboratory animals$xTransportation. 615 0$aVivisection. 676 $a636.088/5 712 02$aInstitute for Laboratory Animal Research (U.S.).$bCommittee on Guidelines for the Humane Transportation of Laboratory Animals. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972547003321 996 $aGuidelines for the humane transportation of research animals$94361967 997 $aUNINA
