Husbandry refinements for rats, mice, dogs and non-human primates used in telemetry procedures - Seventh report of the BVAAWF/FRAME/RSPCA/UFAW Joint Working Group on Refinement, Part B

摘要

This article follows on from a report published in the last issue of Laboiatoiy Animals (Morton et al 2003). Both publications form a report that is intended to help scientists, animal technicians, veterinarians and members of ethics or animal care and use committees to refine all aspects of telemetry procedures, from the project planning stage through to reporting finished research. It is published in two sections; this part (B) which addresses the selection, housing and care of rats, mice, dogs and primates used in telemetry studies; and Part A (Morton et al 2003), which focuses on refinements in telemetry procedures from the project planning stage through to reporting finished research.
