Animal management

The concept of mass medication can hardly be accepted outside the agricultural field, but the experience of veterinary practitioners who treat large herds or flocks of animals fully supports this concept, especially in those areas of animal management where it is essential to keep all the animals at a level of optimal productivity (8).

In the Untied Kingdom, all administration procedures to pregnant mice require Home Office personal and project licenses. Embryo culture beyond midgestation (day 9 in the mouse) and removal of tissues from embryos and fetuses also require Home Office permission. Licenses are granted only after attendance at a course on laboratory animal management and welfare (Home Office Training Modules 1-3). Readers from other countties should seek advice from the appropriate authorities. 

Animal management practices may place animals at risk to toxic plants in their environment. Many toxic plants are relatively unpalatable and not readily consumed unless animals are forced to them by hunger or management changes.
