The rat may be the most widely used species in Juvenile Toxicity Testing due to the convenience and extensive historical control data and well-established method testing.

However, in this webinar Bianca Feyen, Toxicologist at Janssen in Belgium will introduce the usefulness of Minipigs in this field. With more than 10 years of experience working with Minipigs Bianca Feyen presents in this webinar the advantages of the Minipig in Juvenile Toxicity Testing and introduces the available scientific data. Bianca Feyen will give an overview of:

• Why the rat may not be the best option or why it may be necessary to select a non-rodent species
• The guidelines for selecting a species
• Why the Minipig might present a better option than other non-rodent species and how it is useful due to the similarity to humans
• The background data of this field
