Effect of Different Methods of Bone Preparation on the Skeleton of the African Giant Pouched Rat (Cricetomys gambianus)

This study was conducted using 12 Adult African Giant Pouched rats of both sexes to compare and to see the effect of three different methods of bone preparation on the bones of the African Giant Rat (Cricetomys gambianus). Five rats were used for maceration method, three for burial method and four r...
