tutkimuslajin

Tutkimuslajin, also known as research species, refers to a category of animals that are specifically bred or selected for scientific research purposes. These species are chosen due to their biological characteristics, such as genetic similarity to humans, ease of handling, or the ability to model specific diseases. Common research species include mice, rats, rabbits, and various types of fish. The use of tutkimuslajin in scientific research is crucial for advancing our understanding of biology, medicine, and other fields. However, the ethical implications of using these animals are a subject of ongoing debate, with advocates for animal welfare advocating for the reduction, refinement, and replacement of animal use in research. The selection of tutkimuslajin is typically governed by strict guidelines and regulations to ensure the humane treatment of these animals.
