This item was part of Digires (Digital resources for veterinary trainers), a collection of training tools (comprising videos and still photos) designed to be used in the teaching of correct handling, housing, anaesthesia, pain assessment, analgesia and surgery of laboratory animals. They were produced by the Flecknell laboratory at Newcastle University. The Digires website has now been closed down, and the resources are now incorporated into training materials on the Research Animal Training (RAT) website. The Digires image and video collections for tutors are no longer available, as many are now outdated. The Flecknell laboratory has also produced a large range of training materials on specific topics which are available at procedureswithcare.org.uk.

All images from this disc can be found in lower on-screen resolution on Disc 6, entitled On Screen Image Collection. This item (Disc 3) may be borrowed for up to 6 weeks through the Alternative Loan System of the International Network for Humane Education (InterNICHE), free of charge, but return postage must be paid by the person who has borrowed the product.
