Download our free guide: Prioritizing Animal Welfare in Telemetry Research
This helpful guide to animal welfare in telemetry research outlines the various aspects of a research project in which animal welfare should be considered and refined.
At present, the use of animals in scientific research is instrumental in advancing our understanding of biological processes, disease progression, and in developing treatments. The lives and experiences of these animals are not taken lightly, and research practices must continue to be refined to prioritize their welfare.
Topics include:
- The 3Rs - Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement
- Animal Welfare and Kaha Telemetry
- Planning your research
- Designing ethical experiments
- Ethical data management
- Housing animals humanely
- Performing safe surgeries
Develop a welfare-focused mindset
Animal welfare is a core component of animal research, both ethically and legally. A welfare-focused mindset is equal parts consideration for your animals and consideration of the technical requirements of the experiments. If your data is lost, corrupted, or incorrectly captured, the sacrifice of those animals is invalidated. Ethical care includes the care of the information you gather from the animals used.
This guide supports you in creating an experiment or research program that addresses your research question, contributes to the wider field, and actively supports the welfare of the animals you use. We take you through variables, considerations, and drawbacks, at each stage of research development, so that you are applying the principles of animal welfare consistently.
