Journal ArticleDOI
Improving quality of science through better animal welfare: the NC3Rs strategy.
Mark J. Prescott,Katie Lidster +1 more
TL;DR: The strategy for animal welfare includes funding research to generate an evidence base to support refinements, office-led data sharing to challenge existing practices, events and networks to raise awareness of the evidence base, and the creation of online and other resources to support practical implementation of refinement opportunities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The multifactorial role of the 3Rs in shifting the harm-benefit analysis in animal models of disease.
TL;DR: Increased investment and activity in the 3Rs is delivering new research models, tools and approaches with reduced reliance on animal use, improved animal welfare, and improved scientific and predictive value.
Journal ArticleDOI
Training nonhuman primates using positive reinforcement techniques.
TL;DR: Training nonhuman primates to cooperate with routine scientific, husbandry, and veterinary procedures is recommended as good practice by many legislative and professional guidelines and is one means of significantly reducing the adverse impact of such procedures and husbandry routines on them and, therefore, is a refinement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Refinements in husbandry, care and common procedures for non-human primates Ninth report of the BVAAWF/FRAME/RSPCA/UFAW Joint Working Group on Refinement
