Alternatives to animal testing are the development and implementation of test methods that avoid the use of live animals. There is widespread agreement that a reduction in the number of animals used and the refinement of testing to reduce suffering should be important goals for the industries involved. [ 1 ]
NAT - Database: Non Animal Technologies. In order to avoid animal testing and promote animal-free research, the association published the NAT (Non-Animal-Technologies) database on animal-free research methods on July 29, 2020 with 250 entries at the time. The database currently (as of December 2023) contains almost 1,900 entries. [9]
The Johns Hopkins University Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT) has worked with scientists, since 1981, to find new methods to replace the use of laboratory animals in experiments, reduce the number of animals tested, and refine necessary tests to eliminate pain and distress (the Three Rs as described in Russell and Burch's Principles of Humane Experimental Technique).

Exclusive: One in three researchers say their peers force them to carry out tests with animals if their work is to be published, while others are too scared to speak out
In 1954, the Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW) decided to sponsor systematic research on the progress of humane techniques in the laboratory. [2] In October of that year, William Russell, described as a brilliant young zoologist who happened to be also a psychologist and a classical scholar, and Rex Burch, a microbiologist, were appointed to inaugurate a systematic study of ...
Its goal was "to develop, validate, and promote laboratory methods and techniques that don't use animal test subjects". [1] It was the first centre in Canada dedicated to non-animal testing and the promotion of human-relevant alternatives. [2] [3] The CCAAM ceased operations on May 31, 2024 due to budget cuts at the University of Windsor. [4]
Animal Free Research UK (AFRUK), formerly the Dr Hadwen Trust, is a UK medical research charity that funds and promotes non-animal techniques to replace animal experiments. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Established in 1970, the work undertaken by Animal Free Research UK develops reliable science whilst avoiding animal testing.
