Designing animal research
A good research design is crucial for the quality of animal research and the conclusions that can be drawn from it. To protect humans and animals, we must be sure of the reliability and repeatability of animal studies. The Utrecht Animal Welfare Body therefore stimulates quality improvement that guarantees scientific integrity. In addition, it prevents animals from being used for research that does not sufficiently contribute to the increase in knowledge and the health and welfare of humans and animals.
