Handling Champions

The concept of “gentle handling”, which has been established in animal husbandry for some time, is now mandatory for all processes that require the handling of laboratory animals. This involves not only more intensive training of the animals, but also the joint development of solutions to practical challenges, such as collecting samples in quick succession or when handling particularly reactive animals.

To promote the exchange of experiences and develop best practices, one member company established a group of “Handling Champions”. Each working group has a representative. These individuals act as the first point of contact within their teams for questions, concerns or suggestions for improvement and support the consistent implementation of the gentle-handling approach.

Project name: Handling Champions
Charter articles: 1, 2, 3
