Care of Laboratory Animals

Abstract

THE Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW), 284 Regent's Park Road, Finchley, London, N.3, has been collecting information for a handbook on the care of laboratory animals. Major C. W. Hume and Dr. F. Jean Vinter state that they still require information about maintaining healthy stocks of the larger species—eats, dogs, the smaller ungulates and primates. These species will not be dealt with in detail in the handbook, but references will be given to published accounts of methods of maintaining healthy and contented stocks and a list provided of laboratories at which advice on the subject can be given at first-hand.
