3Rs
A resource from the research animals department on how housing and care can be refined to reduce suffering and improve welfare of animal species.
Norecopa has constructed four databases, which together with all the text on this website can be searched simultaneously using the search field at the top of every page.
The term ‘welfare assessment’ applies not only to monitoring animals for signs of pain, suffering and distress associated with procedures, but also to the routine assessment of all animals to check for any health or welfare problems
Improving welfare for animals used in telemetry studies, including maintaining social groups for instrumented animals, providing enrichment, implications of long-term housing and assessing welfare.
The careful selection of the method by which animals are killed is imperative to ensure that the animals are given the most humane death possible.
A key aim of the Group is to encourage people to take account of the whole lifetime experience of laboratory rodents, ensuring that every potential impact on their wellbeing has been reviewed and refined.
The Classic AVs database complements NORINA by providing information on audiovisual products produced some years ago, using technology which has been surpassed by modern digital techniques.
Considerable progress has been made over the last decade in preventing or alleviating pain. In particular, there is now considerable opportunity to minimise or eliminate pain following surgical procedures.
A group of passionate enrichment advocates from academia and industry are the spark for this effort to ignite and excite the laboratory animal community from top to bottom.
FRAME carries out both lab-based and office-based research. Click on the links for more information.
