AWI’s Refinement Database Adds New Search Filter

AWI has updated its Refinement Database, which curates published scientific articles and books on improving the welfare of animals in research and testing. Previously, users could filter search results by “animal type” (e.g., rat, zebrafish, macaque) and “topic” (e.g., environmental enrichment, welfare assessment, social housing). AWI has now added a third filter that allows users to search based on the study’s setting—home, laboratory, farm, shelter, veterinary facility, zoo/aquarium/sanctuary, or wild.
