Research animals
Research animals are animals used in scientific studies to help researchers understand biology, disease, and potential treatments. These animals, often mice, rats, or other species, are carefully selected and cared for to ensure reliable results. The goal is to gain knowledge that can improve human health or benefit animals. Ethical guidelines are followed to minimize suffering and justify their use. This research plays a vital role in developing medicines, vaccines, and medical procedures, while also advancing scientific understanding across various fields.
