Details

The experimental statistics in this release include the number of ‘genetically normal’, that is non-genetically altered (non-GA), animals that were bred for scientific procedures but were killed or died without being used in procedures and the number of animals (GA and non-GA) subject to tissue sampling for the purposes of genotyping.

The Home Office also publish annual statistics on the number of animals used in experimental procedures and the number of animals involved in the creation and breeding of genetically altered (GA) animals that were not used in experimental procedures.

Home Office statisticians are committed to regularly reviewing the usefulness, clarity and accessibility of the statistics that we publish under the Code of Practice for Statistics.

We are therefore seeking your feedback as we look to improve the presentation and dissemination of our statistics and data in order to support all types of users.
