National audienceFollowing changes in European animal testing regulations, animal welfare has taken an important place in animal testing. These changes have also impacted the breeding conditions of laboratory animals, particularly for mice. These conditions for breeding laboratory animals are also based on the 3Rs rule (Reduce, Replace and Refine). In this last R of refinement, the improvement of animal welfare in breeding conditions requires the implementation of enrichments adapted to the mouse line. This study therefore consisted in observations to compare different means of environmental enrichment on seven specific organism pathogen free (SOPF) mouse lines at different physiological stages and different housing conditions. The mice, re...
