Laboratory Animal Medicine, 4th Edition, provides a comprehensive reference on the care, health, management, and regulatory oversight of research species. Published by Academic Press as part of the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine blue book series, this volume supports veterinarians, laboratory animal scientists, program directors, facility managers, and research scientists in structuring high-quality research programs.

The volume synthesizes animal welfare standards, global policies, and husbandry practices across diverse research models. Its broad thematic scope encompasses pre-anesthesia, analgesia, biocontainment, facility design, and experimental methods applied to traditional rodents, non-human primates, aquatic models, and specialized research species.

Endorsed by ACLAM as official preparation material for veterinary specialty certification, this release reinforces professional standards across clinical and administrative settings. The reference was selected as a 2026 Doody's Core Title in Veterinary Medicine, confirming its utility for specialists managing modern research facilities.
