Support in choosing method of euthanasia for mice

Euthanasia of research animals may cause great suffering if the procedure is not carried out correctly. The Swedish 3Rs Center has compiled a material to be used as a support when choosing methods for euthanasia, anaesthesia and confirmation of death in mice.

The material includes all approved methods for euthanasia, anaesthesia and confirmation of death in mice. Each section of the material includes recommendations that are based on scientific literature and experiences that we have collected from Swedish research animal facilities working with mice as research animals.

The material is intended for anyone working with mice as research animals.

This support material was published in Swedish in 2023.
