- Abstract:
- ... Precise health monitoring of laboratory animals is a critical factor for surveillance and accuracy of animal experiments. Rotavirus epizootic diarrhea of infant mice (EDIM) leads to infections in mice that can influence animal studies, e.g., by altering the intestinal physiology. Thus, the aim of this study was establishing a highly sensitive and specific ELISA for the serological detection of EDI ...

- Abstract:
- ... The introduction of alternative methods in the research, in the diagnosis of diseases and in the production of bio-preparations, led over time to a drastic reduction in the number of animals used for scientific scope in Romania. However, our country has always aligned legislation in this area with the European Union. In this regard, last year was transposed into national law Directive 63/2010 whic ...

- Abstract:
- ... How to house animals in captivity, so as to maximise their level of well-being, is one of the greatest practical challenges facing animal welfare scientists. Laboratory animal housing can, necessarily, be very restrictive in terms of the facilities being offered to the animal inhabitants due to experimental protocol restrictions. One method of trying to design better laboratory animal housing, in ...

- Abstract:
- ... The purpose of this study was to compare weight gain and food intake during high-fat feeding in outbred CD-1 male mice while considering several different experimental designs. This study was completed using data from three separate experiments and was designed to address different experimental design issues. Experiment 1 compared mice housed in groups or singly. Experiment 2 compared adolescent a ...

- Abstract:
- ... Semen is collected and processed from a variety of animal species for use in artificial insemination breeding programmes. Because of the inherent nature of the semen collection process, bacterial contamination of the ejaculate is a common occurrence. Additionally, manipulation of the ejaculate during processing in the laboratory can expose the sample to possible introduction of bacterial contamina ...

- Abstract:
- ... Physiological studies of mice are facilitated by normal plasma and 24-hour urinary reference ranges, but variability of these parameters may increase due to stress that is induced by housing in metabolic cages. We assessed daily weight, food and water intake, urine volume and final day measurements of the following: plasma sodium, potassium, chloride, urea, creatinine, calcium, phosphate, alkaline ...

- Abstract:
- ... Whilst appearing attractive, automation must be approached with caution. Much time, effort and money is put into curing 'symptoms' without really defining the problem. Too often organizations launch a programme of automation when what they really need is rationalization. Unless you know precisely how much time and effort is currently involved in an operation, you are in grave danger of making cost ...

- Abstract:
- ... Many laboratory animals are known to be sensitive to sounds (ultrasounds) beyond the nominal upper limit (20 kHz) of the human hearing range. Sources of sound in laboratories and animal houses were examined to determine the extent of ambient ultrasound. Of 39 sources monitored, 24 were found to emit ultrasonic sounds. Many of these (e.g. cage washers and hoses) also produced sound in the audible r ...

- Abstract:
- ... The objective of cost management in the animal house is to make efficient use of resources and to regulate the activity of the user. Regular charging of users keeps them aware of their responsibility both ethically and financially. Forward budgetary control is encouraged and regulation of the work load achieved through planned requirements helps to reduce animal wastage. ...

- Abstract:

The reduction or removal of these impurities from the drinking water of experimental animals would reduce experimental variability. 3 strains of bacteria were collected from the processed water. An increase in the total number of bacteria was observed the longer the fil ...
