This information resource is a merger
of the two databases on refinement & enrichment for non-primate and
primate animals kept in laboratories. It disseminates
reference material on all aspects of refinement of housing and handling conditions
and environmental enrichment for ALL animals
kept in research, testing and teaching institutions.
Refinement is the attempt to enhance animal
welfare and control extraneous variables that may increase research data variability.
Environmental enrichment is the provision of stimuli that promote the expression
of species-appropriate behavioral and mental activities. This database comprises published articles, abstracts,
book chapters, books, photos, and videotapes. Entries have been read/screened and
annotated by the authors to guarantee their relevance to the topic.
