Application of Sentinel Animals in Barrier Environment

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1674-5817.2020.01.012

Abstract

Abstract: Sentinel animals in barrier environment should not only take into account the species, strain, sex, age, quantity, contact mode, placement position and detection frequency, but also the elimination of interference of animal stress on the monitoring results. Aaccording to the 3R theory of laboratory animals, make full use of sentinel animals as feed nutrition monitoring sentinel animals, put forward to set up the number of sentinel animals, that is the actual detection number of sentinel animals.

Key words: Sentinel animal, Feed nutrition monitoring, Laboratory animal, 3R
