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 updated tables on anesthetic agents, methods of euthanasia, recommended needle sizes, injection sites, approximate values for injection, as well as sedative and immobilization agents. The text also offers information on research and veterinary supplies.

Reviews for The Laboratory Rabbit

The second editions of The Laboratory Swine and The Laboratory Rabbit are enhanced with full color illustrations. Both books have an extensively updated section on anesthesia, analgesia and use of humane techniques in animal research. ... Both new additions are valuable additions to the laboratory animal library collection. -- Nanette Kleinman, writing in ACLAM Newsletter VoI. 41-No.3, September 2010
