Scientific Support for Laboratories
Our team collaborates with laboratories and companies to carry out studies in the fields of ethology and animal welfare.
The welfare of animals used for scientific purposes, along with the application of the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement), are fundamental and essential pillars of current research. Considering animal welfare is no longer just an ethical obligation, but a driver for the continuous improvement of scientific practices. We support you in conducting in-depth studies on these crucial topics, integrating the latest advancements and standards in animal welfare. Whether through the implementation of protocols, the rigorous monitoring of practices, or the detailed analysis of results, our goal is to ensure that each project significantly contributes to the Refinement of practices, minimising the impact on animals while maximising the benefits for research.
Our team supports you in implementing research projects, particularly those related to animal welfare. By providing methodology, monitoring, and data analysis, we offer you a robust approach, including:
- Implementation of experimental protocols
- Literature review
- Data collection in the field
- Data analysis (including video analysis of behaviours)
- Statistical testing
- Scientific writing
The aim is to help you initiate concrete actions, highlight initiatives, and give visibility and impact to these efforts, both within the establishment and the scientific community.
Examples of topics: impact of enrichment, methods of animal acclimation, comparison of animal management methods, etc.
