3Rs - Replacement of animals with other methods

Methods that replace or partially replace the use of animals must be investigated, considered and wherever applicable, implemented. Opportunities to replace the use of animals must be kept under review for the lifetime of a project.

 

3Rs - Reduction in the number of animals used 

The number of animals used in a project must be the minimum necessary to achieve the proposed aim(s) and to satisfy good statistical design. However, reducing the number of animals used should not result in greater harm, including pain and distress, to the animals used. 

 

3Rs - Refinement to minimise impact to animals 

The effectiveness of strategies for supporting and safeguarding animal wellbeing is vital and must also be kept under review for the lifetime of project activities.
