Environmental enrichment is the provision of stimuli that promote the expression of species- appropriate behavioural and mental activities in an under-stimulating environment.
Refinement is the attempt to enhance animal welfare and control extraneous variables that may increase research data variability.
This is a photographic documentation and literature review created by Viktor Reinhardt, who has also constructed a database entitled Refinement of Housing and Handling Conditions and Environmental Enrichment for Animals Kept in Laboratories, which also covers non-human primates.
Viktor Reinhardt manages the Laboratory Animal Refinement Forum (LAREF).
