This study examined and summarized the operations and achievements of laboratory animal license administration in Guangdong Province and presents preliminary suggestions based on the deficiencies in the current administration. The study utilized laboratory animal licensing data of Guangdong Province obtained from the National Laboratory Animal License Inquiry and Administration System, and uses a combination of statistical analysis, literature review, and comparative research. Various aspects of the workings of the laboratory animal license administration in Guangdong Province were analyzed, including license issuance, regional distribution, animal species, organization types, facility scale, and development trend of laboratory animal license administration in Guangdong Province to identify areas of improvements. The following measures were recommended to the Guangdong Province: increasing social awareness about the importance of using laboratory animals, promoting the publicity and implementation of laws and regulations on laboratory animals, strengthening the strategic resource reserve of experimental animals, improving the management system of aquatic laboratory animals, and optimizing information management. Through such measures, we aimed to provide reference for the administration of laboratory animals in other regions.
