Animal welfare is very important
Resource-limited setting:
A long-term goal: complete
replacement of using animals
Mandatory goal: reduce the
number of animals used and
advancing refinement.
Diarsvitri et al.
5
Refinement
to alleviate or minimize the pain,
distress and other adverse
effects suffered by the animals
involved or enhance animal
well-being.

As of January 2013, Hang Tuah University has required its students to apply the research ethics.
The objectives of this study to evaluate issues related to the use of
animals in the undergraduates’ biomedical research proposals
how the Research Ethics Committee advances the refinement of animal use in their researches.
Diarsvitri et al.
8
All undergraduate biomedical
research proposals involving
experimental animals in the
period of January to June 2013
(32 proposals) were evaluated
descriptively

Ethical review
Contribution to knowledge
Objectives: realistic, original, timely?
Design: Choice & number of animals used
Experimental design refinement
Competence of staff
Appropriate facilities
Communication of results Diarsvitri et al.

Experimental animal used in all
32 proposals: Rattus norvegicus
Wistar strain.
10 proposals (31,3%): calculation
of sample size has been
corrected to conform with the
reduce principle.
Diarsvitri et al.
13
30 proposals (93,8%) were:
derived from 14 herbal medicine &
marine product researches: S.
polycysticum, M. charantia, M.
oleifera, red yeast rice, A. antiquata
shell powder.
used to treat chronic degenerative
diseases (dyslipidemia), increase
antioxidant and wound healing.
Diarsvitri et al.
14
19 proposals (59,4%): needed a
change of
experimental design (pretest
posttest to posttest only control
group design)
better care of the animals
approriate pain management
better euthanasia procedure.
Diarsvitri et al.

Consideration of practical and ethical aspects of laboratory animal use should be included in undergraduate biomedical courses.
A need to improve appreciation and commitment to advancement of refinement principle.
