Abstract

Abstract: Laboratory animal behavior colligates the wild and wonderful ways in which animals interact with each other living beings, and with the environment. These behavior is the product of an individual’s innate qualities (“nature”) versus those shaped by personal experience (“nurture”). Environment contains all the resources with which the animals come directly in contact. This article reviews the effects of environment factors on laboratory animal behavior. Based on the related standards, the paper explores the relationship between environment control and laboratory animal holding, which will benefit the animal welfare.

Key words: Laboratory animal, Environment, Behavior, Animal welfare, Environmental enrichment
