  4. The Numbers…

  5. Numbers in Perspective

  6. Pain - The Percentages “Some Pain, No Anesthesia” This is only the case when anaesthesia (or other pain relief) would have affected results e.g., when testing another pain relief drug

  7. Veterinary advances Vaccines developed to protect pets, farm animals, working animals and animals in the wild

  8. Refinement • Better living conditions for animals • Minimising pain wherever possible • Better training for animal technicians

  9. Replacement • In Vitro Testing • Computer Modelling • MRI Scanning • Micro dosing

  10. Reduction • Re-evaluating minimum numbers of animals for statistical significance • Methods allowing multiple procedures on single animals • Better designed experiments to reduce numbers
