4 The Guide Performance Standards: Provides scientifically, technically, and humanely appropriate guides for animal care and use OLAW standard AAALAC standard 4

5 A good animal facility A good management program provides the environment, housing and care that permit animals to grow, mature, reproduce and maintain good health; provides for their well-being; and minimizes variations that can affect research results -the Guide 5

12 12

13 Composition of the IACUC USDA requires: At least 3 members Veterinarian, Non-affiliated member COA (Taiwan): At least 3 members Veterinarian, Non-affiliated member PHS Policy requires: At least 5 members Veterinarian, Nonscientist, Community/Nonaffiliated member, at least 1 practicing scientist 13

14 IACUC functions Semi-annual review of the Animal Care & Use Program Veterinary care Personnel qualification Adequate animal facilities and husbandry Program of occupational health and safety Investigate concerns involving the care and use of animals, e.g., animal welfare, complain, etc 14

15 IACUC responsibility: Review of scientific merit Protocols involving animals should have a sound research design, the animals selected should yield valid results, and the project should have relevance and scientific value (i.e. merit). (based on PHS Policy and USDA Regulations) 15

16 PHS policy on scientific merit Procedures with animals will avoid or minimize discomfort, distress, and pain to the animals, consistent with sound research design. - PHS Policy (IVC1a) The animals selected for a procedure should be of an appropriate species and quality and the minimum number required to obtain valid results. -U.S. Government Principles III 16

17 The USDA on scientific merit Rationale for species Appropriate species to obtain valid results Activities do not unnecessarily duplicate Procedures for the conduct of scientifically valuable research - 9 CFR

18 Protocol review Replacement/Reduction: Project Overview Use of Live Animals Literature Searches for Alternatives Experimental Design Justification of Animal Numbers Refinement: Procedural Description Pain, Distress and Discomfort Analgesia Euthanasia Training & Experience 18

19 Special review issues Multiple Survival Surgery Prolonged Restraint Food and Water Restriction Use of paralytic agents Pain/distress Category E procedures 19

20 Pain and Distress 20

21 Pain and distress Pain in laboratory animals is a major animal welfare issue that must be addressed We need to consider: When pain might occur, how long it might last Pain management (Anesthesia and Analgesia) Pain assessment Pain occurs in animals; that it can result in suffering, in a similar way to pain in man The avoidance and alleviation of Pain should be given a high priority. 21

22 Why treat pain? Legal and ethical reason Beneficial for the animal Beneficial for research Rapid return to normal function A higher survival rate Counteract physiological changes Thoracic and abdominal pain affect ventilation Reduction in food and water consumption 22

23 Recognition of pain Prey animals mask pain Nocturnal species Signs to look for General appearance and condition Attitude, posture and movements Interactions with cage mates Reactions to manipulation Food and water consumption Production of faeces and urine Species-typical signs of pain and distress Procedure-specific signs 23

24 Pain relief: Use of analgesics 1. NSAIDs Salicylates (aspirin) Ketoprofen: (Romefen ) 2. Opioids Intraoperative pain relief (Hypnorm ) Postoperative pain relief (Buprenorphine :Temgesic ) 3. NMDA-receptor antagonists 4. Alpha-2-agonists (Xylaxine: Rompun ) 5. Sedatives and tranquillizers Diazepam, acepromazine, fluanisone 24

25 USDA Pain/Distress Categories B = animals used only for breeding purposes (breeder moms, stud males, culled pups, etc.) C = momentary (or less) pain or distress Needle stick for blood draw or administration of euthanasia No anesthesia needed for a similar procedure in a human 25

26 USDA Pain/Distress Categories D = Some pain/distress, treated with anesthetic, analgesic or tranquilizing drugs Similar procedure in a human would require topical or systemic anesthesia Post-surgical pain treated with analgesia Anesthesia used for restraint Cardiac Perfusion? Maybe not.. 26

27 USDA Pain/Distress Categories E = Pain/distress for which the use of appropriate anesthetic, analgesic or tranquilizing drugs would adversely affect the research. Analgesic studies Death as an endpoint REQUIRES SCIENTIFIC JUSTIFICATION 27

28 28

29 Euthanasia The bringing about of a gentle and easy death. Humane killing with the minimum of pain, fear and distress. AVMA Guidelines for the Euthanasia of Animal: 2013 Edition 29

30 Why carry out euthanasia? End of experiment Continuing adverse effects Pain, distress or suffering exceeding stated level If state of health or welfare give cause for concern Unwanted stock For blood or other tissues 30

31 Humane method of killing "The killing of an animal with a minimum of physical and mental suffering, depending on the species." Requirements: Minimise fear and distress. Separate area away from other animals. Ensure operator competence. Reliable method. 31

32 Method Painless and stress free. State of unconsciousness should be reached rapidly and maintained until death. Easy to administer. Safe for staff who perform it. Appropriate for species, bodyweight, and stage of development. Compatible with experimental objectives. 32

33 Choice of method Chemical methods: Inhalant agents: CO 2 asphyxia Non-inhalant agents: overdose of anaesthetic Physical methods: Concussion Decapitation Cervical dislocation. 33

34 Methods used for small animals Methods Rodent less than 125 g Rodent/Rabbit 125 g~ 1 kg Rodent/Rabbit <2 kg CO2 asphyxiation Barbiturate overdose, IV (100 mg/kg) Barbiturate overdose, IP (100 mg/kg) Exsanguination (under anesthesia) Decapitation (under anesthesia) Cervical dislocation (under anesthesia) Decapitation (no anesthesia) Cervical dislocation (no anesthesia) :Recommended; :not permitted; :not recommended, can be applied after IACUC approval 34

35 Confirmation of death Absence of pulse / heartbeat. Decapitation. Destruction of brain. Severing of major blood vessels to terminate flow of blood to brain. Onset of rigor mortis (return to individual cage for c.30 mins). 35

36 Zoonosis and OSHA Regulation 36

53 Conclusion 53

54 Conclusion Virtually every medical achievement of the last century has depended directly or indirectly on research in animals ~ US Public Health Service

55 Conclusion Good Animal Care & Use program in research is possible Good Animal Care & Use program in research is necessary Good Animal Care & Use program in research supports research outcomes Good Animal Care & Use program in research is the right thing to do! 55
