Problems and Countermeasures of Experimental Animals for Medicinal Use

Article Preview

Abstract:

The experimental animals for medicinal use are irreplaceable in the process of drug development and its efficacy test. However, there are also bio-safety issues. For that, we can take some measures to effectively avoid the spread of infectious diseases between human beings and livestock, the harm to the experimenters and environment: enhancing the guard consciousness, strengthening quarantine, regulating the procedure in the process of the experimental animals for medicinal use. In addition, because the lab workers use the animals with no full welfare safeguard, the scientific nature of the experimental data is often questioned. So it is more tend to be the truth, ensuring the welfare of experimental animals to the maximum limit. Also, it can create a good social environment for scientific and standardized using the experimental animals for a long term, through establishing the animal welfare legislation, etc.
