Handling and restraint of laboratory animals

The core of laboratory animal handling and restraint is to minimise stress and injury to the animal while ensuring safety for the handler and accuracy of experimental procedures. Mastery of proper techniques, appropriate equipment, and ethical considerations is essential for compliance with national regulations and for obtaining reliable scientific data.
