Laboratory animals are becoming increasingly important for
biomedical research. It is said that approximately 70% of
biomedical research is associated with the use of experimental
animals. Laboratory animal research not only expands our knowledge
of science, but also greatly improves human and animal health. The
field of laboratory animal science is ever-growing and changing as
new experimental techniques are developed and new animal models are
created. It is essential to know not only the biological features
of each laboratory animal but also how to use and care for them
responsibly in order to perform high-quality experiments. Courses
in beginning Laboratory Animal Science are starting to be offered
in many universities throughout the world. However, a practical
introductory textbook that contains state-of-the-art techniques is
still lacking. Fundamentals of Laboratory Animal Science provides
comprehensive information on the principles and practices of using
laboratory animals for biomedical research. Each individual chapter
focuses on a key sub-discipline of laboratory animal science:
animal welfare and best humane care practices in the laboratory;
the quality control of laboratory animals; the anatomy, physiology,
and husbandry of commonly used species; the principles of creating
and using animal models for studying human diseases; practical
techniques used for laboratory animal experiments; experimental
design; and animal experimentation management. Knowledge of this
broad spectrum of concepts and skills will ensure research goes
smoothly while greatly reducing animal pain and distress.
Well-illustrated and thoroughly referenced, this book will serve
not only as a standard textbook but also as a handy guide for
veterinarians, researchers, animal care staff, administrators, and
other professionals who are involved in laboratory animal science.
