本文采用计算机光盘检索的方法，检索了《生物学文摘》（ＢＡ）、《化学文摘》（ＣＡ）、《美国医学索引》（Ｍｅｄｌｉｎｅ）和《美国农业文献索引》（Ａｇｒｉｃｏｌａ）４种数据库中小鼠、大鼠、豚鼠、仓鼠、兔、猫、犬、灵长类动物等８种常用实验动物的文献数量，并进行了分析比较。结果表明，８种常用实验动物的使用频率由高到低依次为大鼠、小鼠、犬、兔、猫、豚鼠、仓鼠和灵长类动物。作者认为，目前我国仍应把大、小鼠的产业化供应放在首位。随着药品、生物制品等的生产与研究的规范化、法制化，应开始重视犬、灵长类动物等大型实验动物的生产供应工作。实验用猫的生产是国内的薄弱环节，而在国外，其使用频率与兔相当。因此，建立规模化、标准化的实验用猫繁育场应提到我国实验动物科技工作者的议事日程之上 In this paper, we use computer disc retrieval method to search mice in 4 databases of Biology Abstracts (BA), Chemical Abstracts (CA), Medline and Agricola, , Rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, cats, dogs, primates and other 8 kinds of commonly used laboratory animals, the number of literature and were analyzed and compared. The results showed that the frequency of use of the eight kinds of commonly used experimental animals descending order were rats, mice, dogs, rabbits, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters and primates. The author believes that at present our country should still give priority to the industrialization supply of big mice and mice. With the standardization and legalization of the production and research of medicines and biological products, more attention should be paid to the production and supply of large-scale experimental animals such as dogs and primates. Experimental cat production is the weak link in the country, while abroad, its frequency of use and rabbit quite. Therefore, the establishment of large-scale, standardized experimental cat breeding grounds should be mentioned on the agenda of China’s experimental animal science and technology workers on the agenda
