It’s tomorrow, 1 February! Let’s give a round of applause to our dedicated laboratory animal technologists. 👏

Interesting fact: there are two main streams of laboratory animal science – breeding animals and aiding researchers.

There are many exciting technological developments taking place in this field, such as gene therapy and pharmaceutical breakthroughs.

Three cheers for our LATs – thank you for all you do to advance this important para-veterinary discipline in South Africa!

Here’s an early shout-out to our small but dedicated LAT community ahead of LAT Day on 1 February! 👏
