Summary:

Emphasizing the managerial aspects of institutional animal care and use committees, this book offers the authors' expertise of industrial IACUC's, particularly in pharmaceutical houses. Since these committees are required by federal law to operate in all institutions that use laboratory animals, the "hard earned wisdom" presented in this book may be a key to a committee's efficiency and effectiveness. Furthermore, the number of animals used is high yet the need for FDA and AALAC compliance is tempered by business consideratons. This book helps pave the way for better relationships between the animal user and the government.
