Dutch university scientists increase research productivity using fewer animals per project
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
The proposed general reduction in the number of animals used in research within the EU is inappropriate. If a reduction is warranted it should be related to the scientific requirements. We show that the numbers of laboratory animals used per published paper in the Netherlands has decreased by 23% between 1990 and 1997. A further reduction might be detrimental to scientific progress.
