The rabbit is a preferred non-rodent species for regulatory reproductive studies, aiding in detecting pharmaceutical and chemical effects on embryo-fetal development. Its practical attributes and large litter sizes support robust safety assessments.

Area of Science:

  • Toxicology
  • Developmental Biology
  • Regulatory Science

Background:

  • The rabbit is a key non-rodent species in regulatory reproductive toxicology studies.
  • It is utilized for detecting embryotoxic and teratogenic effects of various compounds.
  • Its selection is based on availability, practicality, and large size.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the role and methodology of using rabbits in regulatory reproductive studies.
  • To highlight the advantages of rabbits as a non-rodent test species.
  • To emphasize the importance of rabbit data for assessing in utero development and fetal malformations.

Main Methods:

  • Standardized study protocols, similar to rat studies, are employed.
  • Specific guidelines define study designs for regulatory testing.
