Abstract: The results of medical research are usually obtained by means of effective animal experiments, and at the expense of laboratory animals themselves being hurt or suffering. How to improve the welfare of laboratory animals on the premise of ensuring the scientific and reliable results of animal experiments is a problem that every medical researcher should consider. This paper, starting from the present situation of animal welfare in China's medical scientific research, points out the differences between China and the developed countries in Europe and the United States, and analyzes the reasons for the lagging of animal welfare in scientific research and experiment in China. In order to promote the rapid improvement of the welfare level of experimental animals in China, the measures of speeding up the standards and rules of the laboratory animal welfare technology, strengthening the publicity and education of experimental animal welfare and establishing a scientific animal welfare ethics review system are proposed.
