A working group has been set up in order to establish a common process of welfare assessment on our new mouse lines. We present here how we’ve implemented welfare assessment. We provide a comprehensive set of specialized services related to generating GA mice on a large scale with a high-throughput phenotypic analysis. Among them, welfare assessment of newly created genetically altered (GA) mice have to be considered, as their use in research is significant.
Since the adoption of the European Directive 2010/063 EU, many specific provisions had to be implemented to improve protection and welfare of animals used for scientific purposes.
