Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) is a signatory to the Concordat on Openness in Animal Research and has committed to providing opportunities for the public to find out about our


research that uses animals.


This table provides the number of animals used in studies that were completed in 2020 and the reasons for their use.


It excludes breeding mice and transgenic breeding mice, where the modification to their DNA has had no effect on their health or welfare.


APHA has codes of practice, working procedures and training programmes to define and enforce the high standards the agency must have for this type of work.
