Abstract

The RSPCA/UFAW Rodent Welfare Group has held a one-day meeting every autumn for the last 30 years. This is to allow its members to discuss current welfare research, exchange views on welfare issues and share experiences of the implementation of the 3Rs for Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement with respect to rodent use.

This meeting was held in person at the Francis Crick Institute in London in October 2023 and allowed participants the opportunity to engage in face-to-face discussions throughout the day and as part of a group discussion session at the end of the day. The theme for the day was looking back and looking forward, and talks covered topics ranging from housing and husbandry to refinement in procedures, education, and learning from companion rat care. This report summarises the
meeting and includes some action points for readers to consider raising at their own establishments.
