Features: This book introduces the basic theories, quality control, and animal experimental techniques related to experimental animals and animal experimental methodology. It is divided into two parts: Part 1 on Experimental Animals and Part 2 on Animal Experimental Methodology, comprising a total of seventeen chapters. The chapters cover topics such as the classification of experimental animals, common experimental animals, the environment and facilities of experimental animals, the nutrition and feed of experimental animals, the selection and application of experimental animals, factors affecting experimental animals and animal experiments, animal models of human diseases, transgenic animals and cloned animals, as well as animal experimental techniques, standardized management of animal experiments, and animal welfare. The book features original material, is rich in content, and highlights key points. It provides both systematic theoretical knowledge and detailed practical operational skills, focusing on the current applications of experimental animals in the life sciences while also addressing the development trends of the field of experimental animal science. This book can serve as a teaching text for undergraduate and graduate students in medical colleges on experimental animal science, as a training manual for professionals in experimental animals and animal experiments, and as a practical reference for scientific and technical personnel in experimental animal science and animal experimental personnel.
