"The Pocket Reference series is designed to be a quick reference guide for investigators, technicians and animal caretakers involved in the care and use of laboratory animals in a research setting, detailing basic biology, management and experimental methodology for each species. These books are also useful as general reference guides for laboratory animal veterinarians as they are supplemented with extensive bibliographies which facillitate access to more detailed information.

The second editions of The Laboratory Swine and The Laboratory Rabbit are enhanced with full color illustrations. Both books have an extensively updated section on anesthesia, analgesia and use of humane techniques in animal research. ... Both new additions are valuable additions to the laboratory animal library collection."
