A respected resource for decades, the Guide for the Care and Use of
Laboratory Animals has been updated by a committee of experts,
taking into consideration input from the scientific and laboratory
animal communities and the public at large. The Guide incorporates
new scientific information on common laboratory animals, including
aquatic species, and includes extensive references. It is organized
around major components of animal use: *Key concepts of animal care
and use. The Guide sets the framework for the humane care and use
of laboratory animals. *Animal care and use program. The Guide
discusses the concept of a broad Program of Animal Care and Use,
including roles and responsibilities of the Institutional Official,
Attending Veterinarian and the Institutional Animal Care and Use
Committee. *Animal environment, husbandry, and management. A
chapter on this topic is now divided into sections on terrestrial
and aquatic animals and provides recommendations for housing and
environment, husbandry, behavioral and population management, and
more. *Veterinary care. The Guide discusses veterinary care and the
responsibilities of the Attending Veterinarian. It includes
recommendations on animal procurement and transportation,
preventive medicine (including animal biosecurity), and clinical
care and management. The Guide addresses distress and pain
recognition and relief, and issues surrounding euthanasia.
*Physical plant. The Guide identifies design issues, providing
construction guidelines for functional areas; considerations such
as drainage, vibration and noise control, and environmental
monitoring; and specialized facilities for animal housing and
research needs. The Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory
Animals provides a framework for the judgments required in the
management of animal facilities. This updated and expanded resource
of proven value will be important to scientists and researchers,
veterinarians, animal care personnel, facilities managers,
institutional administrators, policy makers involved in research
issues, and animal welfare advocates.
