  Infrared Thermography Assessment of Euthanasia Methods on Laboratory Rats (Rattus norvegicus) and their Thermal Responses
  Author(s): Adriana Mendoza*
  
  This study investigates the thermal responses of laboratory rats (Rattus norvegicus) when subjected to six different euthanasia methods, utilizing infrared thermography as a means of assessment. The aim is to comprehensively analyze the thermal changes associated with each method, providing valuable insights into the welfare and humane treatment of research animals during euthanasia procedures. Our findings shed light on the effectiveness and potential stress-inducing factors of these methods, contributing to improved animal welfare practices in laboratory settings... Read More»
