Computer Program for Reporting Health Monitoring Results in FELASA Recommended Format
The Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Associations (FELASA) has produced recommendations for health screening rodents and rabbits, and defined report formats, see Laboratory Animals 30: 193-208.
A Microsoft Excel 5.0 program has been written by Karen Davis, of the Department of Laboratory Animal Science, SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals, to produce health monitoring results in the format recommended for breeding colonies (see Laboratory Animals (1994) 28: 1-12) and experimental units (see Laboratory Animals 30: 193-208). It enables current results to be entered, these are automatically combined with historical data to produce a standard report incorporating the latest and historical data. Any number of rooms/units can be reported. A copy of the program can be obtained by sending a 3.5 inch disc to: Karen Davis, Department of Laboratory Animal Science, SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals, Third Avenue, Harlow Essex, CM19 5AD, United Kingdom.
