With laboratory animals, especially rabbits, playing such an important role in biomedical research, the humane care of these animals is an ongoing concern. This guide presents basic information and common procedures in detail to provide a quick reference for researchers in a laboratory setting. Now illustrated in color, this second edition of a bestseller demonstrates management practices and technical procedures with numerous figures and tables, including new tables on anesthetic agents, methods of euthanasia, recommended needle sizes, injection sites, approximate values for injection, as well as sedative and immobilization agents.
