The EU Directive 2010/63/EU mandates the publication of Non-Technical Summaries (NTS) of animal experiments. This article examines how quickly the NTS are published, how well they can be accessed, and the quality of their content. Specifically, the section dealing with the expected harm and suffering of the animals is inadequate. 15% of the German NTS and 35% of the British NTS do not indicate any severity level, even though this is mandatory. The expected benefits, on the other hand, are often exaggerated. https://lnkd.in/ehqhYXF3

"Beyond the Lab: Exploring the Ethical and Scientific Dimensions of Animal Research", 🔬 In this article, the crucial ethical and scientific aspects surrounding animal research, shedding light on the complexities researchers navigate beyond the laboratory, have been focused on. 🌍 It's not just about the science; it's about understanding the ethical considerations that underpin every experiment. Our goal is to initiate meaningful conversations and contribute to a more informed dialogue about the vital role of animal research in advancing scientific knowledge. 🏢 I am immensely happy to be associated with the Centre for Lab Animal Research and Training at West Bengal Livestock Development Corporation Limited. Their commitment to excellence and ethical standards in conducting animal research is commendable. 🌱 🤝 As a Contract Research Organization, our shared mission is to advance scientific understanding and raise awareness about responsible and ethical practices in animal research. 🌐 ##AnimalResearch #EthicalScience #ScientificInnovation #ResearchEthics #ScribdUpload #LabAnimalResearch #WestBengalLivestockDevelopmentCorporation #ContractResearchOrganization #ScienceAndEthics #ResearchCommunity #TransparencyInScience

The annual reports of the Transparency Agreements (TA) on animal research in the Netherlands and Portugal, recently published, have charted good improvements in openness among their signatory institutions in the last year. The Portuguese report has been published this week, at the start of the Animal Research Open Week (#OPENWEEKPT24), showing that the majority of the signatory institutions have engaged with the public, while the Netherlands Transparency Agreement published its report during #BOARD24 and found that biomedical institutions are using an increasing number of ways to communicate with the public.

The 2023 annual report for the Concordat on Openness in Animal Research in the UK has been released. We’ve provided a few key insights from our signatories. The Concordat is composed of 121 organisations involved in research, including renowned institutions like Imperial College London and the University of Cambridge, who commit to being clear about when, how, and why animals are used in their research. Understanding Animal Research works with these organisations to enhance transparency and communications about the use of animals in research with the public. In our 2023 report, 97 of our signatories communicated their work on the 3R’s (explained below) with the media and public, 69 engaged with the local community about animal research, 67 offered lab tours to non-research staff, and 63 provided details to the public of the number and species of animals used at their institution. What are the 3R's? Organisations like ours aid scientists in implementing the 3R’s of animal research: - Replace their use of animals - Reduce the number of animals used when replacement isn’t possible - Refine the care of the animals to keep pain and suffering to a minimum The Concordat is an important agreement between research institutions to support confidence and trust in the life-sciences sector by fostering transparency and building dialogue with the public on the reality of the use of animals in research. #animalwelfare #researchtransparency #ukresearch

We're navigating the #MythsAndFacts surrounding animal science! Today we are looking at the vital contributions animal technicians make to the life sciences. They play a critical role in monitoring the health and well-being of animals and are the first to notice any changes in behaviour, and, as a result, provide the foundation of some of the most groundbreaking discoveries #AnimalScience #AnimalTechnicians #LifeSciences #LifeScience #Recruitment

Animal research workstations play a vital role in handling animals during clinical research. They come in a variety of types, thus selecting the one that best suits the needs is important. Find out how they differ and the factors to consider when choosing one: https://lnkd.in/gvJx3-mW Already have an animal research workstation?

#TPcorporate - Together with the Shang Laboratory Animal Science Association, the Shanghai Lab Animal Research Center, and Laboratory Animal and Comparative Medicine, 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗻𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮 has introduced ARRIVE 2.0 to the Chinese laboratory industry. The ARRIVE (𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵: 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝘃𝗼 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀) guidelines are a checklist of recommendations for the comprehensive and transparent reporting of research involving animals, maximizing the quality and reliability of published research and enabling others to better scrutinize, evaluate, and reproduce it. Tecniplast China's main goal is to help improve animal welfare in the Chinese LAS industry while sharpening our branding and consolidating our link with Key Opinion Leaders (𝗞𝗼𝗟𝘀), individuals with substantial influence in a particular field. #LAS #Tecniplast #AnimalResearch
