Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Manual of Animal Technology provides a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the care of animals used in scientific procedures. Individual chapters have been written by leading experts who * Describe best practice in the husbandry and breeding of laboratory animals, including nutrition, transport, control of the environment and prevention of disease; * Outline the care of animals during and following experimental procedures * Explain the ethical principles that govern scientific procedures using animals together with the legal requirements; Chapters also cover specific topics such as anaesthesia, surgical and experimental procedures, and production of genetically altered animals. The book considers a range of mammals, two species of birds, a commonly used fish and an amphibian. Book News Annotation:For laboratory staff and students taking the Institute of Animal
Technology exams, this guide describes the care of animals used in
scientific procedures. Forty-two chapters by researchers from the UK
and US cover aspects such as the supply and production of protected
animals, ethical and legal matters in the UK, the principles of good
practice, surgery, anesthesia, and husbandry. Several chapters are
devoted to individual species in common use in biomedical
research--mammals, birds, fish, and amphibians--and their husbandry,
environmental needs, nutrition and breeding requirements. The book
was prepared at the request of the Institute of Animal Technology.
Barnett, vice president of the organization, has taught at the City
of Westminster College, London, and worked as an independent
