Animal Handling Equipment

Animal research, also known as animal experimentation, animal testing, and in vivo testing, is the use of non-human animals in experiments that seek to control the variables that affect the behavior or biological system under study. Animal research usually describes research involving vertebrates, such as cats, mice, frogs, pigs, and primates. Most animals used in research are specifically bred for use in medical research. Application of animal research include testing disease treatments, breeding, defense research, and toxicology, including cosmetics testing. Animal testing has benefited researchers in understanding how to treat and prevent various conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, muscular dystrophy, and Parkinson's disease.
