Abstract:
Background:In the era of science and technology /development, it have been using a laboratory animals to confirm
theory and evidences of biology, medical and veterenary sciences. The value of laboratory animals
sciences are still a very important. Because, the studies of laboratory animals are used for instead of
human being and biosafety evaluation, and so on.
Goal:To describe the current sitution analysis of general usage of laboratory animals in the Mongolian institutes,
universities and biotechnological factories.
Materials and Method:In this study, we used a questionnaire that is covering belongs to the quantity counting numbers of
laboratory animals, information of colonies and breeding, euthanizing methods, infectious disease in the
laboratory animals, experimental types, special food and bedding.
Results:Each year were used more than 10000 animal of 9 species. Mouse, rat, rabbit and guine pig are commonly
used in laboratory experiments in Mongolia. Laboratory animals imported from Russia and China, mainly.
These animals uses to study toxicity and virulences, lethal dose of newly revealed substances, drug
testing and diagnosis. We have conducted some comparison of laboratory animal used with the same
situation of other countries.
Conclusions:
1. Study results are indicating that the usage of laboratory animals on biological studies among the
Mongolian scientists is too low as compaired to other countries.
2. It has no standarzided technical, legal provisions technical legal documents such as SOPs and other
douments, but also specialized HRs.
3. Therefore, it has been raised following requirements which are to expand national- and international
cooperation, to be a official member in the international association of laboratory animal sciences, to
share experiences and reports between the specialists in the Asian- and international level.
