Lab Animals: The science and technology dealing with the procurement, breeding, care, health, and selection of animals used in biomedical research and testing.
Monitoring the health of laboratory rodents is an important tool for improving the quality of animals used in research. However not all animal facilities have the same requirements, and an ex...
The popularity reached by the genetic manipulation of laboratory animals to create new models for studying human diseases, produced in turn, that the techniques for assisted reproduction cons...
The title of this presentation could have been Training within laboratory animal science - where we are and where we should be. While training has been the domain of facility managers for ma...
Although a growing body of evidence indicates that environmental enrichment (EE) facilitates normal development and behaviour in laboratory mice, few studies were conducted to demonstrate it...
Abnormal behavior commonly occurs in captive nonhuman primates. It differs from normal behavior in either kind or degree and consists of behaviors such as pacing, self-grasping, and self-inju...
It is increasingly recognized that the genetic background (i.e., all genomic sequences other than the gene(s) of interest) can have profound influences on the phenotype of an animal model. I...
With the growth and expansion of mouse and rat transgenic models in recent years, the demand for surgically altered models mimicking human diseases is growing at an amazing rate. Surgical pro...
Nonhuman primates in captivity are typically provided with a multitude of behavioral management opportunities, including naturalistic social groupings, foraging devices, complex physical envi...
Modern biomedical research greatly benefits from sophisticated techniques which can detect even the most subtle alterations between different individuals or groups. This has raised the bar fo...
Training for researchers using animals is a requirement in most European countries. However, somewhat surprisingly, the main actor in providing specific guidelines for such training is a scie...
This seminar will cover spontaneous diseases of Rhesus Macaques utilizing a systemic approach. It will consist of gross and histopathologic images of common pathologic conditions highlighting...
It is commonly recognized that technicians are the backbone of a successful animal research program. Unfortunately, the invisible contributions that they make as well as the valuable high lev...
Almost all discussion to date on the ethics of animal use in research has revolved around the balance of harms (to the animals) versus benefits (to us) associated with conducting the researc...
Non-surgical transfer techniques for mouse embryos and sperm provide animal welfare benefits for assisted reproduction of mice. While surgical embryo transfer (ET) is an effective method for...
Rabbits are commonly used in biomedical research for many years due to its ease of use and phylogenetical similarities with humans. They are commonly used in cardiovascular research (atherosc...
All personnel involved in an animal care and use program are expected to have an appropriate level of education, training and/or qualifications to perform their duties as defined through laws...
Training in your own institution or corporation can be challenging in trying to meet the goals of the program and the needs of the researchers. If you are challenged with training visiting in...
An anesthesia system designed to accommodate the physiological characteristics of small animals, including rats and mice, has the potential to provide great practical value to the life scien...
In the laboratory setting, rats are commonly housed in clear caging in brightly lit rooms. As their natural history suggests a preference for low-light conditions, this practice is likely str...

Nonhuman primates are commonly used in biomedical research due to its anatomical, behavioral, and genetic similarities with humans. Macaques, especially the Rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) ar...
Public concerns over animal experimentation are becoming felt on both sides of the Atlantic, and a dangerous chasm is appearing between those who conduct such experiments and those who are o...
The primary goal of all gnotobiotic facilities is to maintain a germ-free colony until such time as protocols require associations with other organisms. As such, a well-trained and knowledgea...
