Animals are used in research and testing as biological models for scientific experimentation, product development, toxicity testing, and biomedical investigation. These systems involve the controlled breeding, confinement, and manipulation of animals within laboratories, universities, pharmaceutical facilities, and contract research organisations.
While the scale, species used, and regulatory frameworks vary across countries, the underlying structure remains consistent: animals are standardised, monitored, and subjected to experimental procedures to generate data for scientific, medical, military, or commercial purposes.
