Environmental management of laboratory animals: research needs.

Summary

Five major research priorities have been identified in this area: the effects of microenvironmental conditions on the response of laboratory rats, the means for achieving appropriate ranges of environmental conditions, the environmental preferences of rats, the relationships between cage and room environmental conditions in typical laboratory animal facilities and caging systems, and the practical methods for measuring cage environmental conditions. These major research priorities are discussed.
