Pigs used in production in Sweden today originate from the wild boar. Wild boars and production pigs still share many traits. READ MORE

  3. 32. Acklimatisering av möss inför försök

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Frida Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : acklimatisering; acklimatiseringstid; kortikosteron; möss; Transport; stress;

    Abstract : Det vanligaste försöksdjuret i Sverige idag är musen. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur acklimatiseringsplanen utformas och genomförs i praktiken på anläggningar i Sverige där möss hålls i försökssyfte, hur acklimatiseringsplanen påverkas beroende på försökets syfte och slutligen vilka aspekter som tas i beaktande vid val av leverantör.
