It is now widely recognized that education and training in laboratory animal science are essential for the humane use of animals for scientific purposes and for the quality of results. This book contains basic facts and principles covering the main theoretical aspects of this subject, encompassing welfare as well as ethical issues. After a general introduction and a glimpse into legislation, information is presented on the biology and husbandry of the most frequently used animal species and the relationship between behaviour, stress and well-being. The book also covers aspects of standardization, diseases of laboratory animals and their effect on welfare and experiment results, recognition of pain and distress, anaesthesia, the possibilities and limitations of the use of alternatives and the ethics of animal experimentation. This should be of value as a handbook for all those involved directly and indirectly in the care and use of (experimental) laboratory animals.

The text reflects the objectives of the conference which were to: provide a global overview of the present status of replacement alternatives, reduction alternatives and refinement alternatives; review the progress that has been made with respect to their implementation within the fields of biomedical research, testing and education; promote the exchange of information on recent developments in animal alternatives; and contribute to an ongoing dialogue between the animal protection movement, the scientific community, the regulatory authorities and industry. The contents provide a mid-to-late-1990s overview of the various aspects dealing with the development, validation and use of animal alternatives. In addition, current topics on animal welfare and ethical aspects of animal experiments are covered.
