EXAMPLES OF USE IN RESEARCH
:
1.
CANCER
2.
DOWN SYNDROME
3.
DIABETES
4.
LEUKEMIA
5.

NUTRITIONAL RESEARCH
Overview
Some people are troubled by the use of animals in
research. Each individual must make decisions about
the kind of research he/she wishes to perform.
Justification for using animals
Q. Why is this the right animal model?
A.
Research should be undertaken with a clear scientific purpose.
B.
There should be a reasonable expectation that the research will:
•
1. Increase knowledge of the processes underlying the evolution,
development, maintenance, alteration, control, or biological significance of
behavior
•
2.
Increase understanding of the species under study
•
3.
Provide results that benefit the health or welfare of humans or other
animals.
Transportation Issues
I. Proper packaging
II. Timely shipping
III. Appropriate care upon arrival
Once the animals arrive:
Adequate Veterinary Care
Consultation with the principal investigator to minimize pain and distress.
Housing Standards
I.
Heating, cooling, and temperature
II.
Ventilation
III.
Compatible groupings
IV.
Exercise
V.
Food and water
VI.
Psychological well-being
Disposal
The return of wild-caught animals to the field can carry
substantial risks
To the formerly captive animals and to the ecosystem.
Animals reared in the laboratory should not be released
•
In most cases, they cannot survive or they may survive by disrupting the
natural ecology.
Proper (humane) euthanasia
Laboratory animal testing, also known as animal experimentation, involves using non-human animals in experiments to control variables affecting biological systems. Different species like mice, rats, rabbits, cats, dogs, and primates are utilized for research in various fields such as pharmacology, virology, and disease modeling. This practice is justified by its potential to increase knowledge, species understanding, and benefits to human and animal health.
