The focus was on how we can offer our laboratory animals, the mice, the best possible animal welfare and at the same time further improve the quality of our research results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide wp-block-paragraph\">We learned why before the experiment is as important as the experiment itself and how optimal husbandry \u2013 especially for older animals \u2013 plays a key role in maintaining their fitness and vitality. Working with geriatric animals is becoming increasingly important in science. After Animal Welfare Day, we now have a clearer understanding of the specific aspects that need to be taken into account here (refinement).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide wp-block-paragraph\">Another topic was the improvement of statistical variation in results, which can decrease the number of animals needed for experiments (reduction).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide wp-block-paragraph\">We also discussed how innovative models\u2014such as 3D joints in cell culture\u2014can replace the use of animals in the future (replacement).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide wp-block-paragraph\">A big thank you goes to our outstanding speakers, whose commitment contributed significantly to the success of Animal Welfare Day. Together, we are committed to further strengthening the protection of our laboratory animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading toc-item\" id=\"impressions-of-the-event\">Impressions of the Event<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"790\" data-id=\"19949\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_32-1024x790.jpg\" alt=\"Theres Manthey, Tierschutzbeauftragte des DRFZ\" class=\"wp-image-19949\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_32-1024x790.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_32-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_32-768x592.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_32-1366x1053.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_32-550x424.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_32-150x116.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_32.jpg 1381w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Theres Manthey, Tierschutzbeauftragte des DRFZ<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"790\" data-id=\"19947\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_3-1024x790.jpg\" alt=\"Tierpfleger\" class=\"wp-image-19947\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_3-1024x790.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_3-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_3-768x592.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_3-1366x1053.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_3-550x424.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_3-150x116.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_3.jpg 1381w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vivien Thei\u00dfig und Patrick Thiemann mit Anschauungsmaterial<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"790\" data-id=\"19951\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_33-1024x790.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19951\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_33-1024x790.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_33-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_33-768x592.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_33-1366x1053.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_33-550x424.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_33-150x116.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/25_10_10_News-Tierschutztag_Galeriebilder_4_33.jpg 1381w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Eicke Latz, Wiss.
