Management of Animal Care and Use Programs in Research, Education, and Testing is a great resource for animal care managers of all kinds.

What does this book cover?   

Animal-based biomedical research is more complicated than ever, as are the regulatory and cultural minefields its administrators and managers have to tread. This volume has been heavily expanded and revised to address the practical concerns of today’s program managers and the students currently training for those roles.

• How important it is to foster a culture of collaborative care through behavioural management and animal training
• How managers can contribute to the health and happiness of their charges through species-specific housing and enrichment considerations
• How regulatory compliance, assessment & assurance and cultural issues with globalisation can be incorporated into your processes
• Specific advice on common animal husbandry, animal health, physical plant and program management issues
