Framework Concept​

To focus on the lifetime experience of laboratory mice and rats and methods which increase their positive affective experiences and reduce cumulative suffering.​

Core Aims

1. To reduce the use of physical restraint which causes distress, induces a negative affective state and can have long term detrimental effects on welfare and scientific outcomes​

2. To improve housing of laboratory rodents to provide more natural environments whilst also enabling the practical requirements of scientific studies​

3. To develop habituation methods to facilitate more positive affective associations with the handler and mitigate the negative impacts of aversive procedures​

4. To evidence the welfare benefits which can be achieved using our objective measures of affective state
