Description
The publication of this Second Edition, twelve years after the first, attests to the timelessness of the techniques used in experimental
work with the rat. However, scientific progress inevitably brings to light new ideas and procedures. In particular, considerable progress
has been made in the use of new anesthetics and analgesics. A completely new chapter has been written on these with unique emphasis on
the applicability to the rat. The very variable standards of surgery that existed in the past are placed in perspective in another new
chapter, which makes recommendations more in keeping with the higher standards now demanded of animal experimentation. A variety of new
techniques have been added throughout to expand the usefulness of the book, and more illustrations have been added to help in the execution
of the various procedures.
One of the greatest advances in the last twelve years is a greater appreciation for the well-being of experimental
animals, and references to a more humane and refined approach have been made throughout this edition. This greater awareness of welfare
issues demands that experimental animals be handled and used correctly and compassionately, with as little suffering as possible, and
has led to a marked improvement in the attitude to proper training.
This book is still the only source which provides a detailed and
up-to-date compilation of illustrated experimental methods for work with the rat. It will continue to be an invaluable reference to specific
information for laboratory workers and will help considerably in training new investigators in the proper and considerate use of this
species.
