Webinar on the pioneering approach to implementing refinements for handling mice and rats by Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE).
Guidance on best practices in confirming, archiving and maintaining strains, as well as re-establishing colonies after a pause.
Archiving can provide a back-up to production colonies, minimise genetic drift, reduce the need for tick-over colonies and preserve valuable models.

Guidance on modifying our example protocols to design your own studies.
Guidance on using motivation tests to evaluate environmental enrichment.
Guidance on using ethograms to evaluate environmental enrichment, including examples.
Guidance on using preference tests to evaluate environmental enrichment.
Guidance on how to conduct an evaluation of environmental enrichment.
