2. Objectives
• what are the lab animals
• importance of proper handling
• Basic handling techniques
• Ethical consideration
• Training and experiences

8. • Handling
 Safety first – Always priorities safety when working
with lab animals
 Calm environment- Avoid loud noises and sudden
movement.
 Gentle handling- Pay attention to their body
language.
 Familiarization- This helps them to feel more relaxed
and reduce stress.
 Observation – to understand their behavior.
 Training
 Hygien practice

9. Ethical
consideratio
n
• Replacement
• Reduction
• Refinement
• Justification for use
• Regulatory compliance ( IACUC)
• Use Alternatives
• Training and competence
• Welfare standard- Proper housing food and medical.

10. Conclusions
• The ethical treatment of lab animals is crucial in
scientific research.
It involves ensuring their welfare, minimizing pain and
distress, justifying the purpose of research, and seeking
alternatives to animal testing.
Adhering to regulations and maintaining transparency
are also essential for responsible research practices.
