doi:10.12300/j.issn.1674-5817.2022.077

Abstract

Abstract:

The 2022 Canadian Council On Animal Care (CCAC) guidelines: Identification of Scientific Endpoints, Human Intervention Points, and Cumulative Endpoints (CCAC Guide) supplements existing laboratory animal humane endpoint theory according to the latest available literature. This article summarized the main content of the 2022 CCAC Guide, and elaborated and analyzed the determination, implementation and supervision of the scientific endpoints, humane intervention points, and cumulative endpoints of animal experiments, in order to provide useful reference and information.

Key words: Laboratory animals, Scientific endpoints, Humane intervention points, Cumulative end points

CLC Number:

Q95-33
