The rapid increase in the production and use of transgenic mice has been a boon for biomedical research and a challenge for the animal care and use programs responsible for providing housing and medical care to these animals. The authors suggest ways in which the veterinary staff can successfully organize and manage transgenic mouse breeding programs to reduce uncontrolled breeding and the problems associated with it.
转基因小鼠生产和使用的迅速增加对生物医学研究来说是件好事,但对于负责为这些动物提供饲养和医疗护理的动物照料与使用计划而言却是一项挑战。作者提出了一些方法,兽医人员可以通过这些方法成功地组织和管理转基因小鼠繁殖计划,以减少无节制繁殖及其相关问题。
