Experiments were performed in conformity with the Canadian Guide to the Care and Use of Experimental Animals (Vol. 1, 2nd edition, 1993) and with the guidelines of the French Ministry of Agriculture (87/847, modified May , 2001.
The standards for animal care and use conform with or exceed those defined in the Canadian Council on Animal Care's Guide to the Care and Use of Experimental Animals, Vol. 1, 2nd edn., 1993 and the Animals for Research Act, R.S.O.
All experimental protocols used in this study were approved by the University of Manitoba Animal Care Committee and are in agreement with the Canadian Council on Animal Care and Use of Experimental Animals (vol. 1, 2nd ed., 1993).
Mice bearing subcutaneous tumours were anaesthetised with 2% isoflurane (Attane; Minrad, Buffalo, NY, USA) in oxygen/air mixture (1 4, vol./vol).. Animals were imaged on a prewarmed (37°C) platform in the small-animal imaging system, with maintained anaesthesia.
Due to increased awareness of animal welfare issues by consumers, 3 vol.ntary programs were developed to assess animal welfare on commercial dairies in the United States.
For instance, according to Forages: An Introduction to Grassland Agriculture, Vol. 1 (2003), "[an] animal unit is defined as an 1100-lb (500-kg) non-lactating mature cow (Bos taurus) fed at maintenance or its equivalent in other kinds and classes of livestock".
Rats were anesthetized with 5 vol% isoflurane and placed in a small animal stereotaxic frame assembly (David Kopf Instruments, Tujunga, CA).

One of the most important books in embryology is Baer's Über Entwickelungsgeschichte der Thiere (vol. 1, 1828; vol. 2, 1837; "On the Development of Animals"), in which he surveyed all existing knowledge on vertebrate development and from which he derived his far-reaching conclusions.
Young, male Wistar rats (100 120 g) were divided into four groups of five or six animals each and were dosed, through water, with 10% ethanol (vol./vol)./vol
At the end of each test in a rabbit, the animal was sacrificed with an intravenous overdose of 10 vol./vol.% pentobarbital.
