transportation of animals at research facilities is often an ordeal. There is a confusing patchwork of local, national, and international regulations; a perceived lack of high-quality shipping services; a dearth of science-based good practices; and a lack of biosafety standards. It s a challenge and an impediment to biomedical research. <i>Guidelines for the Humane Transportation of Research Animals</i> identifies the current problems encountered in the transportation of research animals and offers recommendations aimed at local and federal officials to rectify these problems. This book also includes a set of good practices based on the extensive body of literature on transportation of agricultural animals, universal concepts of physiology, and a scientific understanding of species-specific needs and differences. Good practices were developed by the committee to address thermal environment, space requirements, food and water requirements, social interaction, monitoring of transportation, emergency procedures, personnel training, and biosecurity. <i>Guidelines for the Humane Transportation of Research Animals</i> is an essential guide for all researchers, animal care technicians, facilities managers, administrators, and animal care and use committees at research institutions. </p> </div> <div class="top"><a href="#top">back to top</a></div>      <a name="orgs"></a> <div id="orgs"> <h1>Authoring Organizations</h1> <ul class="orgslist"> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070404053456/http://dels.nas.edu/ilar/" target="\'_BLANK\'">Institute for Laboratory Animal Research (ILAR)</a></li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070404053456/http://dels.nas.edu/" target="\'_BLANK\'">Earth and Life Studies (DELS)</a></li> <ul class="moreorgstitles"> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070404053456/http://www.nap.edu/moretitles.php?org=ILAR" '>More Titles from ILAR</a></li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070404053456/http://www.nap.edu/moretitles.php?org=DELS" '>More Titles from DELS</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="top"><a href="#top">back to top</a> </div>   <a name="aboutpdf"></a> <div id="aboutpdf"> <h1>About the PDF: What am I Buying?</h1> <p><b>About Our PDFs</b><br></p> <p>This book can be purchased as a computer file.
