Hands-on refinements: Establishing improved husbandry processes for aged C57BL/6 mice (2024)

Paterson, A.

Abstract

The main aim of this project was to review the husbandry processes in place for the colony of aged C57BL/6 mice at the Babraham Institute, establish a refined husbandry process and improve local guidance. Secondly, by analysing fate and clinical observation data between 2021 and 2023 this project aimed to assess the impact of these improved routines on the identification of health concerns and the number of mice found dead at routine health checks.
