Quality diets for laboratory animals: guinea pigs
Guinea pigs may be used in a wide variety of research laboratory
experiments, making them valuable research animals. They
have been used in nutritional research and immunology experiments,
as well as in the testing of lotions and ointments. Longtime
use of guinea pigs in bacteriological and serological research
has provided a wealth of information on blood values, cell
counts, elementary analyses and physical constants.
