Анотация: This book is intended for anyone involved with animals in laboratories - technicians, veterinarians, scientists, institutional officials, enrichment specialists, IACUC members, and inspectors. It has been 13 years since the previous edition of this book was published and this new edition is more than twice the length, in part because research on improved housing and enrichment has been, and continues to be, conducted. There are 14 chapters on different animals in research (including new chapters on ferrets and zebrafish, as well as chapters on extraneous variables and the human-animal bond) that describe species-specific needs and offer recommendations on how to address them in the laboratory.
