6.Welfare check and humane end point

a.Regularwelfare check

Starting point is that the animal and the accommodation are checked daily at all times (from the moment the animals enter the facility). This is a routine check for calamities.

At least once per 7 days a thorough check of the animal’s welfare is performed on the basis of behaviour, posture, gait/mobility, food intake/weight loss, grooming/auto mutilation and other striking clinical symptoms.Findings of this welfare check are noted in the Welfare Logbook.

b.Additional welfare checks within the scope of possible experiment-specific clinical symptoms

Depending on the experiment, so-called experiment-specific clinical symptoms can occur.

Is this the case? No Yes

If so, please indicate in the table below:

  • At what time-points the animals need to be assessed. Describe the experiment-specific clinical symptoms and when in the experiment these are expected. If possible, please quantify the clinical symptom/parameter, e.g. volume of a tumour, circumference of a swollen knee joint, etc.
  • Please also describe the estimated level of discomfort (mild, moderate, severe).

Table 6.b.: Points (relative day in experiment) of observation and the experiment-specific clinical symptoms that need to be assessed.

10 / ChooseNon-recoveryMildModerateSevere

c.Humane endpoint / Premature withdrawal of animal(s)

When a humane end point (HEP) is applied, the experiment is prematurely terminated for an individual animal or a group(i.e. before the planned end of the experiment). The goal of the HEP is to prevent avoidable discomfort. There can be three reasons to apply a HEP. You are requested to indicate for I and II which criteria you use.

I.The discomfort of an individual animal that is inherent to the experiment exceeds the maximum discomfort described in the project.Describe for which clinical symptoms (specify degree and seriousness) and on basis of what criteria (opional) a HEP is applied.
Describe the HEP also in Dutch.
II.The scientific goal is reached.Describe –onanimal level–when the scientific end point has been reached and what the criteria are to withdraw an animal from the experiment.
III.The scientific goal can no longer be reached.For example: due todropoutssignificant results can no longer be reached; the readout is affected by external factors as a result of which the animal is no longer suitable to produce reliable results.If this is the case, make a note in the Welfare Logbook and report to the IvD Utrecht!

8.Ill and dead animals during the experiment

What to do with unexpected ill animals?

What to do with unexpected dead animals?

1. Ill/dead animals must always be reported to a staff member of the animal facility andIvD Utrecht.

2. Investigation into a possible cause of illness/death is highly recommended.
