Treatment randomisation at animal or pen level? : Statistical analysis should follow the randomisation pattern!
Random treatment assignment is essential in demonstrating a causal relationship between a treatment and the outcome of interest. Randomisation ensures that animals assigned to different treatment groups do not differ from each other systematically, except for the randomly assigned treatment. The randomisation pattern should also dictate the statistical analysis.
期刊介绍:
The international journal of laboratory animal science and welfare, Laboratory Animals publishes peer-reviewed original papers and reviews on all aspects of the use of animals in biomedical research. The journal promotes improvements in the welfare or well-being of the animals used, it particularly focuses on research that reduces the number of animals used or which replaces animal models with in vitro alternatives.
