The development of a health surveillance plan on environmental material from animal housing would have an important impact not only on maintaining an adequate state of health and on the generation of quality experimental data, but also on reducing the number of animals to be sacrificed.","PeriodicalId":89077,"journal":{"name":"Annual ORNL Biomedical Science and Engineering Center Conference.
