The purpose of Experimental Animal Day is to advocate for scientific and humane animal experiments, strictly adhere to the 4R principles and actively promote alternative methods to reduce animal experiments and minimize the suffering of animals.
We follow the 4R principles of animal welfare. These are replacement, reduction, responsibility, and refinement.
We use refined and advanced imaging technologies to reduce the use of animals. This includes, reducing pain, distress, and potential harm that experimental animals may suffer.
Animals share many similarities with human in pathology, physiology, and biology. This means that laboratory animals enable a wide variety of medical, biological, and other scientific research.
The symptoms and pathological changes observed in animals with diseases may share similarities to those seen in humans.
Experimental animals can also help evaluate the effectiveness and safety of new drugs and treatment methods. Conducting experiments in animals can better control variables and observe the efficacy of drugs or treatment methods on the entire organism. More importantly, they can be used to study gene function and genetic diseases.
By manipulating and observing genes, scientists can understand the functions of certain genes and their relationship with specific diseases.
Imaging technologies such as X-ray and optical imaging, allow scientists to monitor animal pathology and physiology in a non-invasive manner.
During the experiment, animals are put to sleep with anesthesia, ensuring they are free from fear, distress, and pain during the experiment.
The in vivo imaging system enables scientists to take detailed pictures of an animal’s internal organs and tissues without dissecting the animal’s body.
In vivo imaging technology enables scientists to reduce the use of experimental animals and improve the quality of their scientific research - significantly benefiting animal welfare.
Our AniView multi-model in vivo animal imaging system enables scientists to monitor the phenotype of lab animal without dissection, which significantly benefits the improvement of animal welfare and promote scientific research by reducing the use of the experimental animal.
