Animal Research in the UK
Produced by Understanding Animal Research, this information leaflet looks at how many animals are used in the UK, the types of research undertaken and the species of animals involved.
Both of these leaflets use official figures to provide a precise snapshot of the extent of animal research in the UK in 2011 and look at trends in the number of animals used. The details are useful as information for teachers and also as background or research information for students.
