It enlarges the knowledge of different aspects such as housing, care, genetic and microbial quality control, anesthesia and pain management, nutrition, experimental techniques, prevention and treatment of diseases, of laboratory animals, which contributes to the reliability and reproducibility of the results of an animal experiment, and to a decrease in discomfort for animals used in an experimental setting.
