Challenging the status quo: Together with other companies and universities, we are constantly working to develop new, alternative methods to replace animal testing. In cooperation with the responsible authorities, we are aiming to achieve official recognition and approval of methods like these so that fewer animal tests are needed and prescribed by law.

🔶 Partnership with a-tune software PicoTeam is announcing a partnership with a-tune software , a respected supplier of animal research and compliance software. By incorporating PicoTeam’s digital cage cards into a-tune’s established Animal Management Software (AMS), we’re enhancing operational efficiency, accuracy, and animal welfare in research environments. The integration streamlines the display of updated animal data from a-tune software directly on the cage cards.   What does the integration of digital cage cards into a-tune AMS mean for animal facilities: 🔹 Enhanced Accuracy:   Real-time updates and data sharing ensure that information on animal housing and care is always current and accurate. 🔹 Time-Saving:   Eliminate manual data entry. Our solution reduces the administrative workload, allowing researchers to concentrate on advancing science. 🔹 Improved Welfare:   A comprehensive view of animal care schedules and needs supports the highest standards of animal welfare.   #animalresearch #research #animalscience #biomedicalresearch #3Rs #LaboratoryAnimalSciences #AnimalWelfare #animalcare

Hello everyone I have completed value added course on Animal Handling and Experimentation Techniques Organised by BVDUs Poona College of Pharmacy. Following are the key points regarding animal handling and experimentation: 1. Ethical Treatment: Animals used in research must be treated humanely throughout all stages of experimentation, from initial handling to the conclusion of studies. 2. Regulatory Compliance: Researchers must adhere to strict guidelines and regulations set forth by governmental bodies and institutional review boards to ensure animal welfare and ethical standards are met. 3. Training and Expertise: Proper training in animal handling techniques and understanding species-specific behaviors are essential to minimize stress and ensure the well-being of animals under study. 4. Minimizing Harm: Efforts should be made to minimize pain, distress, and discomfort experienced by animals, through appropriate housing, care, and use of anesthesia or analgesia during procedures. 5.Scientific Rigor: Proper animal handling is crucial for obtaining reliable scientific data, ensuring the validity and reproducibility of research outcomes. 6. Transparency and Reporting: Researchers should transparently report their methods and results, including details of animal handling procedures #animalhandling #skill #poonacollegeofpharmacy #DRA #ethicalhandling #pharmacology

Thanks to Merck Group for being #transparent and explaining the progresses and successes to #replace #animal testing by non-animal approaches (#NAMs). Changing the paradigm is a long journey supported by lot of efforts and resources. Being more #open is a great step forward and support the positive contributions of research companies and institutions to phase in new technologies.
