Laboratory Mouse Procedural Techniques

Currently, there is a paucity of training material for experimental techniques in laboratory rodents, particularly audiovisual material. The manuals and accompanying DVDs will be of great interest to students, technicians, veterinarians, and investigators. Importantly, the straightforward approach taken in both the printed manual and DVD will be seen as an excellent tool for non-English speaking personnel.---Mark A. Suckow, DVM, Dipl. ACLAM, Director, Freimann Life Science Center, University of Notre Dame, & Past President of AALAS

Persons [students of animal technology] can watch these videos to get the picture and then practice with an experienced individual. It is a good refinement step of the 3Rs.... I will be very excited to have these manuals to use as training items with my students and as reference resources in our animal facility.---Bruce W. Kennedy, MS, RLATG, CMAR, Compliance Associate, Research & Graduate Studies, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, & Past President of AALAS

The trainers at the Research Animal Resources Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison developed videos, narratives, pictures, and text to teach common handling, injection, and bleeding techniques of mice. The resulting DVD and supporiting manual is a complete training resource and refresher for lab animal veterinarians, veterinary technicians, animal care staff, trainers, and researchers working with mice.
