The Three Rs
• Reduction
• Refinement
• Replacement

The Three R’s
www.altweb.jhsph.edu
Center for Alternatives to
Animal Testing at
Johns Hopkins University-to foster development of scientifically
acceptable in vitro & other
R-R-R alternatives for animal testing
![Page 7: University of Windsor Animal User Training Program](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151c1550346895dbff763/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Replacement
• are there appropriate alternatives?
![Page 8: University of Windsor Animal User Training Program](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151c1550346895dbff763/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Refinement
• achieve expertise
• limit pain
• prevent wasting of animals
• expertise can reduce variability thus reducing numbers required
![Page 9: University of Windsor Animal User Training Program](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151c1550346895dbff763/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Reduction
• appropriate animal numbers - statistical requirements
• controlling variability
• literature researches

CCAC Guidelines• “Guide to the Care and Use of
Experimental Animals, Volumes 1 & 2”
• Vol 1 - principles for good animal care and use
• Vol 2 - husbandry of experimental animals on a species by species basis
• Available through www.ccac.ca
![Page 12: University of Windsor Animal User Training Program](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151c1550346895dbff763/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Assessment
• CCAC assessment panel carries out site visits to ensure guidelines are being followed
• status of compliance, conditional compliance or non-compliance
• if non-compliant, CCAC can inform granting agencies (e.g. NSERC)
![Page 13: University of Windsor Animal User Training Program](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151c1550346895dbff763/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Education
• via CCAC assessment panel
• CCAC workshops for members of Animal Care Committee
• National Institutional Animal User Training Program (NIAUT) - ensures all personnel are trained in basic principles of lab animal science and ethical issues

Animals for Research Act
• provincial legislation protecting all animals used in research and testing
• applies to all vertebrates - fish, rodents, reptiles, birds, primates and livestock
• OMAFRA responsible for administering and enforcing the law

Required by law
• Animal Care Committee at U of W
• Research Proposals or Protocols
![Page 17: University of Windsor Animal User Training Program](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151c1550346895dbff763/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Key elements of the Act
• minimum standards of housing and care
• animal care committees
• research proposals
• veterinary inspectors
• dog pounds and supply facilities
• pet protection
![Page 19: University of Windsor Animal User Training Program](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151c1550346895dbff763/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Protocols
• must be submitted well before animal use is to begin so ACC can review:
-suitable animal numbers
- appropriate species
- appropriate procedures
- unnecessary pain/discomfort
- scientific work
![Page 21: University of Windsor Animal User Training Program](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/568151c1550346895dbff763/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
