    Journal: Cornell Vet; 1991 Oct; 81(4):365-78. PubMed ID: 1954741.
    Abstract:
    Techniques to derive and rear germfree kittens (Felis catus) for biomedical research were explored and refined. The isolator units, equipment, sterilization procedures, husbandry techniques, and safety issues are discussed. This method proved to be successful for the surgical derivation and hand-rearing of germfree kittens.
