ABOUT WORKSHOP:
“Research, in reality, involves three facets: acquisition of new knowledge, use of animals in teaching exercises, and the testing of compounds, chemicals or devices for safety and effectiveness.” In the preclinical study animals are used for deciding the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a new drug or a new drug formulation. During the drug testing on animal, it is essential to avoid unnecessary pain or injury to animals during holding, experimentation and post – experimentation period by monitoring and improving their housing, environment, feeding and veterinary care as well as the most important scientific goals and well designed protocols are worthless, if those who handle the animals are improperly trained or unskilled. Attention to the training of personal concerned with animal upkeep, and the researchers who use these animals should be the prime concern of any institution using animals. For that it is a prime need to train the researcher related to animal handling methods. This kind of training gives idea to researcher regarding handling, oral dosing, injections, withdrawal of body fluids, withdrawal of food, withdrawal of blood, withdrawal of specific nutrients etc for research. The main object of this workshop is to provide the knowledge how to use animals in research and the appropriate way to handle them for various experimental procedures.
