Laboratory animals, including birds, play an important role in biomedical research. The humane care and management of these animals is an ongoing concern. A new addition to the acclaimed Laboratory Animal Pocket Reference series, The Laboratory Bird is the first publication dedicated to the care and use of avian species in the research setting.

Covering avian species such as chickens, ducks, doves, parrots, and songbirds that are commonly used as research models, the book is divided into focused chapters that cover a broad range of topics, including:

General avian biology and physiology
Husbandry
Regulations and regulatory compliance regarding the use of birds in research
Experimental methods
Veterinary care

Along with discussing applicable regulations, the book also details issues of health management and quarantine approaches. The final chapter provides resources such as organizations, publications, vendors, and diagnostic laboratories.

With its focus on the care of a diverse group of avian species in biomedical research settings, The Laboratory Bird is a valuable reference for animal care and veterinary technicians, laboratory animal veterinarians, trainees in laboratory animal medicine, and research staff members, as well as individuals involved in laboratory work who lack experience in working with birds.

Industry Reviews

"The Laboratory Bird (CRC Press, 2016; $59.95, also available as an e-book) is a useful 'pocket reference' for laboratory animal veterinarians, veterinary technicians, husbandry staff, new researchers, trainers, and exotic animal practitioners. This book falls in line with other of the Laboratory Animal Pocket Reference series. It is a quick and easy read with varied, colorful, and descriptive figures throughout its 161 pages of text.

The spiral-bound book is composed of 6 chapters that encompass biological features, husbandry, management, veterinary care and experimental methodology. The index and references are thorough and comprehensive. As the authors state in the preface, the book serves as a basic reference to those that have little experience working with birds in a research setting. ...

Overall the contents in the book are well-organized and cover the most pertinent and important points regarding common avian species used in research, husbandry, veterinary care, and experimental uses. It will serve well as an easy reference guide for veterinarians, students, facility managers and animal husbandry technicians."
