Abstract

Because of the nature of genetically altered animals the probability tht they are deliberately or unintentionally altered in their morphology, physiology and or behaviour can lead to the need to make changes in how we maintain each strain. We are now able to try and make environmental and dietary changes that suit the strain's individual needs, rather than just simply placing them on the shelf and assuming that this is good enough for them.
