| Learning outcome: |
After completing the course, the student should: •Having insight into the general welfare and the most important topics in the field of laboratory animal science. •Could define and use terminology in the field. •Understand the relationship between the environment, health, welfare and quality of operation of laboratory animals. •Could point out the potential health hazards associated with working with laboratory animals and how to minimize these. •Understand the principle of "the three Rs" (reducenoise, refine, replace) •Could have a reflective attitude to animal welfare and able to argue about this. •Know about the most important regulations, legislation and supervision work by the subject area. •Know the alternatives and supplements to animal testing that exists. •Know about the main points on how one plan and search for an animal experiments, how to choose art, genetic modificated model, methods, anesthesia, methods of euthanasia etc. •Be able to explain methods of handling, anesthesia, analgesia and humane euthanasia of experimental animals (including fish) and be able to explain the key principles that form the basis of choosing the type of method and type of equipment for handling and treatment of animals. •Be able to explain for internal and external factors who can influence an experminental animal and what it can have to say for the outcome in an animal experiment, and how experimental animals health become monitored and how all work is quality assured. •Be able to explain for how one should work to standardize these factors the most. •Have insight in the most important factors which include in the drift of an experimental animal department and to conduct a simple evaluation of a department. After the practical part the students should: •Show that they can carry out a clinical examination, handling, fixating, injections and blood sampling of mice, rats and rabbits. •Know about management-routines, care-routines, hygine-routines and HS-routines in an average lab animal facility. |
