As a completely revised and updated edition, this essential handbook has been written for all those working with animals under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986. Designed to be a bench-top reference, it contains useful information covering all aspects of laboratory animal care and use and is aimed at improving animal welfare through encouragement of best practice and refinement of techniques. Section one covers principles applicable to all species, including legislation and ethical considerations, health and safety, supply and transport of animals, minor techniques, and an introduction to anaesthesia and surgery. Section two covers biology, husbandry, health monitoring and common diseases and is species based for ease of reference. Both large and small laboratory animals are included, and there is new information covering wild and exotic species and birds. This book follows the first four modules of the Home Office licensee training requirements and gives advice on making licence applications. This is a handy reference for veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses as well as for those working with animals in the laboratory.
