The concept of the 3Rs (Refinement, Reduction, and Replacement) has been a guiding framework for improving the welfare of laboratory animals for over half a century. Animal-centric Care and Management: Enhancing Refinement in Biomedical Research, authored by Russell and Burch, takes this concept further by adopting an animal-centric view on housing and management. Instead of adapting animals to experimental conditions, the book encourages readers to modify conditions to better align with the behavioral, emotional, physical, and physiological needs and preferences of the animals. A team of expert authors, drawn from various fields such as laboratory animal science, ethology, biology, and animal training, offers practical ideas for creating housing conditions and handling procedures that aim to foster a long-term positive state of mind in the animals under our care.
This comprehensive book is designed for animal caretakers, animal health technicians, researchers, animal facility managers, laboratory animal veterinarians, and anyone involved in work with living experimental animals or passionate about enhancing laboratory animal welfare. It serves as an interdisciplinary guide, fostering collaboration among different viewpoints and fields to optimize laboratory animal welfare. By embracing an animal-centric approach, this book aims to revolutionize the way we care for and utilize laboratory animals in biomedical research, ultimately leading to more humane and ethical practices.
