    When we speak of experimentation with animals, we generally focus on research protocols, leaving aside the fundamental matter of handling experimental subjects. To underline the importance of this aspect, we have chosen to emphasize techniques for manipulation and subjection of laboratory rats and mice, prioritizing animal welfare, its influence on research and on the safety of personnel.
