High laboratory mouse pre-weaning mortality associated with litter overlap, advanced dam age, small and large litters

High and variable pre-weaning mortality is a persistent problem in laboratory mouse breeding. Assuming a modest 15% mortality rate across mouse strains, means that approximately 1 million more pups are produced yearly in the EU to compensate for those which die.
