The species of animal commonly used is often dictated by the animal model(s) of disease available for efficacy studies and toxicology studies. The common animals used are rodents (mice and rats), beagle dogs, and nonhuman primates (Cynomolgus and Rhesus macaque). However, other animal types used can be hamsters, ferrets, rabbits, and swine. These animal types are purpose-bred for scientific studies from vendors accredited by the USDA to supply the animals to facilities (contract research organizations, universities etc.) that use animals for scientific testing. The Inhalation team at AmplifyBio has experience in inhalation testing with all animal types.
