Book Description
Purpose of the Manual of Laboratory Animal Research is to help the students, research scholars, scientists and staff in caring and using lab animals for research in ways judged to be scientifically, technically, and humanely approach. The Manual is also proposed to assist investigators in fulfilling their requirement to plan and conduct animal experiments in concurrence with the scientific, humane, and ethical principles. The inspiring fact today is that lab animal experiments have come to stay as in the global scenario bio-pharma industry is set to compete neck to neck with the Info-tech industry and the lab animal facility is the core factor for the bio-pharma industry. With this heartwarming anchorage of hope, I share the knowledge related with lab animal research and ethical guidelines which I have gained over the years in this noblest science and art which has been the backbone of all modern sciences.
