A future ‘rodentopia’? Imagining a good life for rats and mice used in research (and the humans who work with them)
This invited perspective imagines 2066, this journal’s centennial. Building on current understandings of rodent cognition, affect and welfare needs, we envision a world with dramatically altered societal attitudes toward rats and mice: w...

Facility as a tool, program as the driver: Aligning infrastructure with a high-quality animal care and use program
Research animal facilities are often perceived as the defining element of high-quality animal care and use; however, international standards and accreditation practices increasingly emphasize that the animal care and use program (ACUP), ...

Pain in laboratory fishes: What we know and what we need to know
The scientific exploration of the capacity of fishes to experience pain has grown since the first identification of nociceptors in rainbow trout in 2002. In the early years up to 2010 anatomical and electrophysiological evidence was gath...

Bipolar vessel sealing as a refinement in fowl cecectomy
Bipolar vessel sealing is presented as a technical refinement for fowl cecectomy. Over a 13-year period, 123 laying hens aged 20–50 weeks underwent cecectomy. Two hemostatic methods were evaluated: vessel ligation with absorbable sutures...

Implementing refinements: Attitudes, experiences, barriers, and solutions identified by laboratory animal professionals
Refinements to improve the lives of animals used in science are generally endorsed by research institutions and regulatory bodies, but laboratory animal professionals face many barriers in implementing refinements. We sought to understan...
