Twenty years on--changes in laboratory animal science.

Changes in laboratory animal science in the 20 years since George Porter's death are reviewed, with particular emphasis on animal welfare. The need for a generally acceptable definition of animal welfare is emphasized and a new definition is propounded. The concept of stewardship as a basis for human-animal relationships is explored. This involves Man accepting his responsibility for his relationship with, and care of, animals while simultaneously accepting a moral responsibility to God, or others, for that care and relationship.

Undergraduate training in laboratory animal science: a challenge for change.

LABORATORY animals are considered to be an 'obscure' specialist area by many veterinary surgeons, despite the fact that the knowledge they apply in their daily work and all of the medicines they use depend on research or testing using laboratory animals. The employment of veterinary surgeons in research is a well known aspect of the profession. Less well known is the contribution made by veterinarians as toxicological pathologists, assessing the effects of new chemicals and pharmaceuticals on laboratory animals used in safety testing. But the most important contribution of the profession is as advisers on laboratory animal welfare and health. The British Laboratory Animals Veterinary Association (BLAVA) is a specialist division of the BVA dedicated to representing and educating the profession in this area. Since 1986 every research institute has had to employ a named veterinary surgeon to advise on the health and welfare of these animals and BLAVA has therefore grown to over 200 members. In this paper BLAVA sets out its vision of how undergraduate education could meet this challenge.

Twenty-five years of progress in laboratory animal science.

During the past 25 years tremendous improvements have been made in the field of laboratory animal science. Refinements in genetic and microbial quality assurance and animal housing coupled with the development of professional expertise has contributed to enhanced animal well-being and a reduction in the variability of data collected from research animals. These advances occurred concomitant with an increased public awareness of research animal use. In 1967 Laboratory Animals Ltd. published the first issue of Laboratory Animals. In celebration of its Silver Jubilee, I will briefly highlight some of the changes which occurred in the field of laboratory animal science since 1967 and some of the medical advances which depended on animal-based research.
