Final version of the updated Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals now available

It's here! The Institute for Laboratory Animal Research (ILAR) has announced the publication of the final version of the 8th Edition of the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. This is the primary reference used by institutions who are engaged in the humane treatment of animals in research, testing, and teaching. The 2010 edition replaces the Guide, which was last updated in 1996, and includes recently published data, scientific principles, and expert opinion to recommend practices for responsible laboratory animal use.
