Development of Laboratory Animal Science and Technology in Jiangxi Province: Review and Reflection

Abstract

Laboratory animals constitute a fundamental part of life sciences and help assess the research level of biomedical science in a country or region. This paper systematically reviews the basic conditions and social role of laboratory animal science development in Jiangxi Province. It also makes a superficial analysis of the existing problems, pointing out that our province lacks basic research and technological innovation owing to its weak foundation, deficiency of understanding of the strategic positioning of the laboratory animal discipline, and lack of stable financial support. Based on the analysis of the current situation, this paper proposes countermeasures and suggestions for the development of the laboratory animal discipline in our province during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.
