The field of lab animal medicine is ever-growing and changing as new experimental techniques are developed and new animal models are created. Courses in beginning Laboratory Animal Science are
starting to be offered in many Medical Schools and Agriculture Universities in the world. However, a practical introductory textbook that contains state-of-the-art techniques is still lacking.
This book includes essential concepts required for teaching and training. It covers a broad spectrum of topics related to laboratory animal science, including the history, the anatomy and
physiology of commonly used species, as well as addressing model selection and experiment design and management.
