| Description: | COURSE ON LABORATORY ANIMAL SCIENCE IN INDIA Introduction The International Certificate Course on Laboratory Animal Science was conducted at CSIR- Institute of Genomics and integrative biology in India in collaboration with the Utrecht University, The Netherlands. The resource persons of the course were from Netherlands, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India. This course was organized to achieve following objectives. • To disseminate basic facts and principles (knowledge and skills) that are essential for the humane use and care of animals recruited for research • To support a critical and analytical attitude towards the scientific knowledge underlying laboratory animal science related activities • To improve quality of research conducted in India and other countries in the Asian region. Duration of the Course: 10 working days: from 18th November to 29th November 2013. Participants A document briefing the course contents were sent to all universities and research institutions in the country to attract participants and also the same document was circulated among scientists/researchers through the web links of CSIR- Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology. There was a high demand from local applicants and 100 applications were obtained. The total number of students selected was 40. Four could not attend the course due to unavoidable circumstances at the end. Total number completed the course was 36. Details of researchers who were finally registered for the course are given in the annexure. Course contents: The contents of the 2 week intensive course was programmed based on the category C recommendations of the Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Association (FELASA) with regard to training of young scientists and included the following: 1. Lectures and discussions • Introduction to the course Laboratory Animal Science • International legislation • From Brainwave to publication • Animal Welfare and experimental procedures • FELASA mission • Laboratory Animal Nutrition • Current trend of Animal Regulations in India • Quality Sentinel and Health Monitoring programs • Laboratory Animal Standards AAALAC International Accreditation • Cost effective Lab Animal Facility • Anesthesia in Laboratory Animals • Peri-operative care and analgesia • Euthanasia of Laboratory Animals • Genetic standardization • Humane endpoints in laboratory animal experiments • IdMOC technology and microphysical systems as novel alternatives to animal experiments • Comparative Anatomy of Laboratory Animals • Ethical Guidelines – The Indian system • Analgesia in Laboratory Animals • The laboratory animal and its environment • Diseases and pathology • Zebrafish as a model for Genetics and Genomics • Genetics and breeding system of laboratory animals • Non- human primates in biomedical research • Bio-safety and chemical restraint in Rhesus macaque • Animal Welfare • Parameter to access pain and discomfort |
