Dear clients,
ABR would like to remind our valued clients to plan ahead for animal needs over the summer holiday season, a time when many are taking a well-deserved break from the lab.
We remain committed to upholding the core principles of animal welfare in research – the 3Rs of replacement, reduction, and refinement. With this in mind, we encourage you, where applicable, to consider downsizing your colonies until research resumes in the new year.
Sale strain mice are in good supply however it’s important to order with as much notice as possible so that we can meet your needs. Some reduction in colony sizes is expected to occur in December if orders are not incoming.
We greatly appreciate your ongoing support and the time you take to plan ahead. Please continue to use Stuart to communicate with our technicians, and keep in mind the ethical responsibility of ordering unnecessary breeding of mice that will not be required.
If you have any questions, please contact our friendly orders team via orders@abr.org.au
