Animal Welfare and the Three R's

Comments (0)

Produced by Understanding Animal Research, this information leaflet looks at the replacement, refinement and reduction (3R's) principle in animal research. It describes:
• Replacement of animals in research with alternative techniques;
• Refinement of scientific procedures to enhance animal welfare;
• Reduction of the number of animals used.

The leaflet is useful as information for teachers and also as background or research information for students.
