The seminal reference on the care of laboratory and captive
animals, "The UFAW Handbook on the Care and Management of
Laboratory and Other Research Animals" is a must-have for anyone
working in this field. The UFAW Handbook has been the definitive
text since 1947. Written for an international audience, it contains
contributions from experts from around the world. The book focuses
on best practice principles throughout, providing comprehensive
coverage, with all chapters being peer reviewed by anonymous
referees. As well as addressing the husbandry of laboratory
animals, the content is also of great value to zoos and aquaria.

phenotyping; statistics and experimental design; welfare
assessment; legislation; training of people caring for lab animals;
and euthanasia. All material combined into one volume for ease of
