Animals used in research and teaching

Please note: This NCCAW committee has been disbanded and replaced by the AAWAC.

The links below provide guidelines for the treatment of animals used in research, science and for teaching purposes. These guidelines were developed by the National Consultative Committee on Animal Welfare (NCCAW).

Genetic manipulation of animals
Government regulation of animal experimentation
LD50 and Draize tests
Pound sourced animals

Note: the 'statistics on the use of animals for scientific purposes' page has been removed.  The statistics statement has been overtaken by events. The Animal Welfare Working group of the Primary Industries Standing Committee has developed a uniform approach to data collection.
