BulletinJuly 2020• 5Dear ReadersTwo things to tell you, as we graduallycome out of hibernation. The first thing to say,we are now back in printed form, so I do hope youare now returning back to a more structured way ofworking and reading this in the tea room! The second thing, something you will have alreadynoticed – the July edition of the Bulletin is muchsmaller than usual. There are a couple of reasons forthis, obviously while we have been in lockdown, wehave not been attending any conferences, meetings, seminars orworkshops in person, these have all been postponed or pushed intovirtual meetings. Most of which have been done at very short notice – socurrently there is nothing much to report. Additionally, because of theunscheduled changes to our lives, the Bulletin has begun to get verybehind in our print schedule, which we now need to get back as wereturn to printed format. Our August edition will also be small – but Iguarantee our September edition will be back to normal!Back with this edition, we do have some articles of interest to you – let’sstart with MySociety – the IAT membership database. Read pages 8-11 foran explanation of how this works and how you can use it. This is ofinterest to us all, but especially so to those of us who are RAnTechs – wecan use the database to track and keep records of our CPD.Elsewhere, we have AS-ET news, which includes information on the essaycompetition – prize a trip to Congress 2021. See page 16 to see if you areeligible – even if you are not, please pass the information on to thosewho are.Make sure you take care and …Keep Reading!CarolePoverty IAT LAUNCHES EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY GenderRaceSexual OrientationDiscriminationAgeReligion or BeliefDisabilityEthnicityFairAnti-oppres sive practiceFairYout h WorkSexValuesEmpowermentLegislationDifferenc eSocietyEqualRightsStatusOpportunitiesClassBeliefsEducationNOBODY IS THE SAME BUT EVERYONE IS EQUALInstitute of Animal TechnologyAdvancing and promoting excellence in the care and welfare of animals in scienceEnsuring policies, procedures and processes don’t discriminateEducation - equal access to opportunitiesCreating an inclusive culture for allwww.iat.org.uk/equalityGROUPJul20:IATB NEW 10/7/20 10:01 Page 5November 2023• 5BulletinKeep Reading!Carole You may be wondering why the front cover is another celebration of the Graduation Ceremony, that’s because I have to start with an apology concerning the October edition of the Bulletin. On page 16 we featured a list of the lecturers involved in teaching on the higher education programme. Unfortunately, we published an incomplete list of all the tutors, something we have recti ed this month – with a full list of all teachers on page 15. It was my fault and once again apologies to Jas Barley, Pilar Browne, James Bussell, Gary Childs, Steven Cubitt, Auriol Lamb Cubitt, Haley Daniels and Paul Flecknell, all of whom do teach on the HE programme. Elsewhere, UAR (Understanding Animal Research) have allowed us to reprint the 2022 laboratory animal research usage  gures and statistics. These numbers show a marked decrease on those of 2021 and re ect the numbers previously used in 2002. I am sure you will all agree this is very good news and I look forward to a further decrease in numbers in 2023. Part of the reason for the decreasing number is the increase in the use of other technologies alongside the use of animals in research – technologies from the replacement spectrum of the 3Rs. See pages 23 – 29 for further information.Speaking of the 3Rs, this time – re nements, we have a report from the North West Branch Poster Day. I was heartened to see that three great re nements featured in the prizes – box training for rabbits, playpens for rats and genotyping methods for Zebra sh. Many congratulations to the winners, see pages 7 – 11 for the full report.

The weather was bright and breezy and so were our spirits, as we prepared for a day of learning and networking. We had 10 trade tables in the centre of the room, all with displays showcasing their equipment. These were surrounded by 15 posters all submitted with the hope of winning the grand prize of a trip to AALAS this October. It is amazing to see how much effort everyone puts into the research and scientiﬁ c content of their posters.The session kicked off with coffee and registration, with Datesand once againproviding a free goodie box, as well as a free lanyard donated by Aston Pharma.This was followed by the ﬁ rst of three talks for the day. First up was Julia Bartlett from the University of Bristol.

Bulletin8 • November 2023 involving animals requiring the administration of substances. This almost always requires the animal to be restrained which is known to cause stress. This research group has developed and implemented several techniques to reduce stress caused during the procedure. Rather than oral gavage, voluntary ingestion of test substances in palatable solutions were used. Although this approach will not be compatible with all substances, this method offers both welfare and scientiﬁ c beneﬁ ts that could reduce variability between subjects and improve the quality and reproducibility of scientiﬁ c studies.The afternoon continued with a second speaker, Wendy Steel from Animals in Science – Education Trust, who introduced AS-ET, the people involved in the running of the charity and its main objectives. This included an overview of bursaries awarded and other activities over the previous 12 months. The ﬁ nal speaker was Haley Daniels from the University of York, who gave a talk on the psychological contract of a ‘dirty worker’. Starting off with the anecdote of wearing an ‘against animal testing’ sweatshirt to her ﬁ rst job, Haley discussed what it means to be an Animal Technician and the psychological impact of what the job entails on everyone of us.

BulletinNovember 2023 • 9interact with the tradespeople, most of whom used to be Animal Technicians themselves. It is a rare opportunity to have so much expertise and experience in one room and we all managed to make the most of it.The judges also used this time to have a look round all the posters and to speak with the poster creators. Both were impressed at the work that had gone into each and every poster, as well as the willingness of everyone to discuss their work. You could feel the enthusiasm in the room! Just before the presentations, we managed to squeeze in one more talk by Gary Childs from CLAST. He gave us an overview of the Level 4, 5 & 6 courses offered by the IAT and how they can be adapted to suit the individual needs for those undertaking the course. Selecting different modules would depend on if you want to go down the Animal Technologist or managerial route.Finally, it was time for the presentations, each poster was unique and brought a new insight into the world of laboratory animal science and husbandry, but as always, there can only be one winner!First prize went to Alicia Kinally – University of Leicester, for her poster –Validating the use of box training as a reﬁ nement to rabbit handling.In the wild rabbits are prey animals and so the act of being picked up and handled can be extremely stressful for them. Previous studies in pet rabbits have shown that during the act of lifting, rabbits show signs of struggling and aggression due to fear. This is relevant to the rabbits we house in our facility and can cause unnecessary stress, which potentially will negatively affect the research they are being used for. In our case, the rabbits are cardiovascular models of myocardial infarction and so keeping stress levels down where possible is important. We investigated a new method of handling our rabbits The afternoon continued with a second speaker Wendy Steel from Animals in Science – Education Trust, Wendy introduced AS-ET, the people involved in the running of the charity and its main objectives.

Bulletin10 • November 2023 which involved training the rabbits to jump into an animal carrier to be transported to their destination; either a playpen or scales multiple times a week.The carrier was lined with either a vetbed that was shared amongst their group, or a vetbed that was not shared and was only given to the individual rabbit. We investigated different positive incentives but found the vetbed was the most effective for them to jump into the box. Out of the two groups we had, the shared vetbed was preferred due the desire to investigate the different smells left by the other rabbits when it was presented to them. The rabbits were timed on how long they took to jump into the box with a limit of 3 minutes. Since the initial trial, we have now also tried this method with female rabbits and have received positive results from them too. We also measured the effect of surgery on the rabbits who were our MI/SHAM models and found that during the time that they were monitored on post-operative checks, they were less likely to jump into the box but quickly returned to jumping in as normal afterwards.Second prize went to Bethany Tough from University of Newcastle for her poster on: Letting Rats, Be Rats – Introducing Playpens at Newcastle University.Alicia Kinally and Bethany Tough being presented their prizes by Nicky Windows.

BulletinNovember 2023 • 11Over the last year at Newcastle University, we have been focussing our effortson improving the life experience of our experimental rats (Rattus Norvegicus). After our initial investigation we noted that there appeared to be a large discrepancy between the resources readily available and used for the rats, when compared to our other rodent species’ mouse (Mus Musculus). This was highlighted as an area for improvement – working in line with and championing the NC3Rs’ deﬁ ned principle of Reﬁ nement.Third prize went to Lisa Van Hateren from The University of Shefﬁ eld for her poster on: Evaluating Zebraﬁ sh Genotyping Methods with Consideration of the 3Rs. Genotyping Zebraﬁ sh is an essential process to identify mutant alleles within research facilities. Fin clipping of adult Zebraﬁ sh has been the standard genotyping method employed by many institutions for several years. More recently, alternative genotyping methods have been explored to help reduce the number of protected animals and reﬁ ne procedures as part of continual 3Rs improvements. I have evaluated some of these methods to understand why adult ﬁ n clipping is still predominantly used in facilities rather than alternative methods, given the importance of the 3Rs.The day was very nicely ﬁ nished off with a glass or two of Prosecco and a chance to mingle with colleagues and peers.

In a recent survey conducted by the CIPD (2023) most organisations are increasing their focus on health and wellbeing as sickness absence continues to increase and has reached the highest level in a decade at 7.8 days on average per employee per year.The increasing cost of living and changes to working practices mean that it is now more important than ever to put workplace mental health at the top of workplace agendas.The COVID-19 pandemic brought about a step change in organisations’ focus on employee health and wellbeing with many organisations within the animal research industry now developing their own stand alone wellbeing strategy.Mental health problems can happen suddenly because of a speciﬁc event in someone’s life, or it can build up gradually over time.Spotting possible signs of a mental health problem:Not everyone will show obvious signs of poor mental health and it is important not to make assumptions - but some possible signs at work include:l appearing tired, anxious or withdrawnl increase in sickness absence or being late to workl changes in the standard of their work or focus on tasksl being less interested in tasks they previously enjoyedl changes in usual behaviour, mood or how the person behaves with the people they work withIt can be harder to spot these signs if employees are working from home.

BulletinNovember 2023 • 21Surrey Hampshire and Sussex Branch Report On a very wet and windy Saturday in July, four members (all present or past member of the committee) and two spouses met for a tour and tasting afternoon at Greyfriars Vineyard near Guildford. So, with raincoats and brollies at the ready, we started in the processing warehouse, where the bottling machines can process several hundred a day. The guided tour, which involved a walk through the vineyards ﬁ nishing with a tutored tasting of several of their award-winning sparkling and still wines. The tastings took place on a newly built viewing deck situated in the middle of one of their stunning ﬁ elds. Luckily it was covered so the brollies could be replaced with glasses.The current Greyfriars Vineyard was originally set up in 1989, by some local vets and was one of the ﬁ rst in England to plant the traditional Champagne grape varieties (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier). 30 years later, in 2011,

Bulletin22 • November 2023 Mike and Hilary Wagstaff took over with the aim of expanding the vineyard to its current size of 40 acres and to produce stunning English sparkling wine, building a state-of-the-art winery complete with an underground chalk cave cellar to accommodate this growth.The vineyards are predominantly planted with the three classic Champagne varieties. However, they also have small plots of Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Blanc. A state-of-the-art tasting room was built over lockdown and opened in 2021. Their passion for winemaking has led to their wines gaining critical acclaim, winning a number of prizes in international competitions including the DecanterWorld Wine Award.Once again, a very poor turnout to a great (despite the weather) afternoon, with no response to the advert on the website and in the Bulletin, plus an email to members. So, unless members of the SH&S Branch want it to close like the Hertfordshire Branch, please try and support the events we organise, it’s very dispiriting and seems like we are wasting our time trying to keep the branch going. Remember, use it or lose it. Reporter: Stuart Mackrell Chairman SH&S Branch

BulletinNovember 2023 • 23 Understanding Animals in Research Statistics Latest ﬁgures show a decrease in animals used in research in 2022 • Number of procedures on animals in 2022 has decreased by 10% to 2.76 million• Lowest number of procedures since 2002• Mice, ﬁsh, rats and birds account for over 97% of all procedures • Cats, dogs and monkeys account for 0.2% of all procedures On Thursday, 13 July 2023, the government has released its annual statistics on the number of animals used in scientiﬁc, medical and veterinary research in 2022. The ﬁgures show that 2,761,204 procedures were carried out in Great Britain in 2022, 10% less than in 2021.97% of the procedures were carried out in mice, ﬁsh, rats, and birds, whereas cats, dogs and monkeys accounted for 0.2% of all procedures in 2022. Half of these procedures were carried out by ten organisations.

Bulletin24 • November 2023 Half of these procedures were carried out by ten organisations. What is a procedure? Any procedure applied to a protected animal for an experimental or other scientiﬁc purpose, or for an educational purpose, that may have the effect of causing an animal pain, suffering, distress or lasting harm equivalent to, or higher than, that caused by the introduction of a needle in accordance with good veterinary practice. How many animals are used? The number of procedures carried out in a year does not equal the number of animals that have been used in procedures that year. This is because some animals may be used more than once i.e. ‘re-used’, in certain circumstances. These instances are counted as separate, additional, procedures. As a result, the number of procedures is usually slightly higher than the number of animals used. 2,685,610 animals were used for the ﬁrst time in 2022.Specially protected speciesSpecially protected species refers to cats, dogs, horses, and non-human primates (monkeys) – they are subject to additional protection under Section 5C of the Animal (Scientiﬁc Procedures) Act 1986. This means these species can only be used when no other species is suitable. These species were used in 0.5% of all procedures. What is a procedure?

Bulletin26 • November 2023 45% (1,248,994) of all procedures were for the creation or breeding of genetically altered (GA) animals. Of these 1,248,994 procedures: • 89% were for the purpose of maintenance of established lines of genetically altered animals• 11% were for the creation of new lines of genetically altered animals Experimental procedures involve using animals in scientiﬁc studies for purposes such as basic research and the development of treatments, safety testing of pharmaceuticals and other substances, education, speciﬁc surgical training and education, environmental research and species protection.55% (1,512,210) of all procedures were for experimental purposes. This includes basic research, which expands our knowledge of living organisms and the environment; applied research, which addresses the prevention of disease and development of treatments; and regulatory research, which includes studies aimed at ensuring product safety and the effectiveness of pharmaceuticals. Of these 1,512,210 procedures: • 53% were for basic research• 24% were for applied research• 22% were for regulatory research• 1% were for the protection of the natural environment, preservation of species, and higher education or trainingThe top three research areas for basic research were: the nervous system, immune system, and oncology. The top three areas for applied research were: animal diseases and disorders, human cancer and human infectious disorders. The top three research areas for regulatory research were: toxicity and other safety testing including pharmacology, quality control (batch safety testing) and routine production of blood-based products. Toxicity and other safety testing including pharmacology include tests such as reproductive toxicity, developmental toxicity and repeated dose toxicity (up to 28 days).The use of animals to test tobacco products was banned in the UK in 1997 and it has been illegal to use animals to test cosmetic products in this country since 1998. A policy ban on household testing using animals was introduced in 2010. Since 2013, it has been illegal to sell or import cosmetics anywhere in the EU where the ﬁnished product or its ingredients have been tested on animals.

BulletinNovember 2023 • 27 Severity of proceduresSeverity assessments measure the harm experienced by an animal during a procedure. A procedure can be as mild as an injection, or as severe as an organ transplant.Severity assessments reﬂect the peak severity of the entire procedure and are classiﬁed into ﬁve different categories: Sub-threshold: When a procedure did not cause suffering above the threshold for regulation, i.e. it was less than the level of pain, suffering, distress or lasting harm that is caused by inserting a hypodermic needle according to good veterinary practice. Non-recovery: When the entire procedure takes place under general anaesthetic and the animal is humanely killed before waking up. Mild: Any pain or suffering experienced was only slight or transitory and minor so that the animal returns to its normal state within a short period of time. For example, the equivalent of an injection or having a blood sample taken. Moderate: The procedure caused a signiﬁcant and easily detectable disturbance to an animal’s normal state, but this was not life-threatening. For example, surgery is carried out under general anaesthesia followed by painkillers during recovery. Severe: The procedure caused a major departure from the animal’s usual state of health and well-being. This would usually include long-term disease processes where assistance with normal activities such as feeding and drinking were required, or where signiﬁcant deﬁcits in behaviours/activities persist. Animals found dead are commonly classiﬁed as severe as pre-mortality suffering often cannot be assessed. Most severe procedures arise in regulatory testing such as the evaluation of the toxicity of drugs. Sub-threshold and mild procedures account for 80% of all procedures in 2022.

The overall funding for life sciences in the United Kingdom, as well as the relative funding in other countries, will change the amount of science done – a proportion of which will involve animals.Animals are used alongside other techniques such as cell cultures, human studies and computational models. These methods are used – often in tandem – to answer the key biological questions necessary to understand and treat disease. Animal research is strictly regulated in the UK. Every procedure, from a simple blood test to major surgery, requires individual, establishment and project licences, as well as approval from an Animal Welfare and Ethical Review Body. Before an animal is used, researchers must show that the knowledge could not be acquired using non-animal methods.

BulletinNovember 2023 • 29 While the government produces these statistics on an annual basis, more organisations than ever before are openly publishing their own ﬁgures on their websites. This move towards greater transparency has been bolstered by the Concordat on Openness on Animal Research in the UK, which has been signed by 128 organisations since it launched in 2014. Chris Magee, Head of Policy and Media, Understanding Animal Research, said:“There was a drop of around 300,000 procedures this year, from just over 3 million to 2.76 million. Although roughly in accordance with long-term trends of declining animal use, year-on-year changes are primarily affected by the funding, focus and capacity of research teams.That said, we would expect to see part of the decline as a result of new research methods being introduced to the lab that either don’t use animals or use them differently, for instance being so mild that they no longer count as regulated procedures. Some new or improved non-animal methods also have the potential to give us better data, cheaper and faster, although they are not a panacea and many will need support and development to be applied more widely.New techniques are not conﬁned to the non-animal space, as we’ve seen recently with transparent mice being used to successfully image tumours at unprecedented magniﬁcation and much earlier in the formation of the tumour than has previously been possible.Thus, a focus on animal numbers masks a more exciting story of research innovation across the board with new animal models, improvements to old models, new approaches to research entirely and new synergies building between them. If the life sciences receives the support it needs to realise the full potential of these innovations then our scientiﬁc output, health and the environment can only beneﬁt.”Reproduced with permission of Understanding Animal Research.
