Article How to calculate sample size in animal studies?

There are many methods to calculate the size you can benefit from the above article.

regards,

Atif Baig

1. Depends on qualitative vs quantitative analysis.

2. Either based on freedom of study (E) or power of study.

Very easy is:

E = total Number of animals in all groups - number of groups

best is if E = 11 to 20 (ideal is 20) - if you needed any help let me know will help u - dont worry

Nemanja Zdravkovic
