LASAM-UKM Fier Workshop-2013

WORKSHOP ON THE CARE
AND USE OF
LABORATORY
RODENTS AND RABBITS
IN RESEARCH
20th – 22nd AUGUST 2013
&
LABORATORY ANIMAL RESOURCE UNIT, FACULTY OF MEDICINE, UKM
JOINTLY ORGANISED BY: LABORATORY ANIMAL SCIENCE ASOCIATION OF MALAYSIA (LASAM)
INTRODUCTION
Laboratory animals are extensively used in
biomedical research. Bridging the data
obtained from in-vitro studies to be
extrapolated to humans, these animals
serve as the biological system to test out
new
compounds,
procedures
and
physiological
phenomena
that
will
eventually be used in humans.
With growing concerns for the ethical use
of these animals in research, many
countries have made it mandatory for all
researchers to be proficient in the sciences
of these animals which include the proper
management, handling as well as the
techniques, before being allowed to use
them in their studies. This is in line with
the extensive evidence from various
studies which has shown that stress
resulting from improper management,
handling and manipulations will result in
skewed and irreproducible data. Not only
is this a waste in terms of resources such
as money and time but result in the
unnecessary sacrifice of animals.
In view of this, LASAM and Laboratory
Animal Resource Unit, Faculty of Medicine,
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia will be
conducting a workshop on the care and use
of rodents and rabbits in research. This
workshop
aims
to
provide
basic
information
pertaining
to
laboratory
rodents and rabbits as well as an
opportunity to learn the proper handling
and basic experimental techniques used in
these animals.
