| Description: | This website is the tool to make animal experimentation more humane while improving the quality of science. This website: gives you guidance on how to apply humane endpoints includes a wealth of information on humane endpoints and related aspects, such as: normal behaviour of rats and mice clinical signs and pathology pain & distress has an extensive database of videos and photographs of clinical indications as well as relevant laws & regulations and of literature trains you how to monitor welfare, identify endpoints and define responsibilities and has an interactive educational component for training purposes In general, the website is designed to help you to refine your experiments, improve your knowledge of the welfare of the animals and to improve the scientific quality of your research. |
