SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"With their representation in research on the rise because of refinement in animal experimentation, swine, and miniature swine in particular, are viewed as an alternative to nonrodent species commonly used such as dogs and primates." "Written to provide a complete source of information on the species, this guide addresses the biology, husbandry, management, veterinary care, and research application of the laboratory swine. Ideal for animal caretakers, technicians, investigators, and laboratory animal veterinarians, The Laboratory Swine is a single source reference that contributes to the humane care and use of swine in research.
