title: [Duties of the Central Office for Documentation and Evaluation of Alternative and Supplementary Methods for Animal Experimentation at the Institute for Veterinary Medicine of the Federal Health Office, Berlin].
abstract: A National Center for Documentation and Evaluation of Alternative Methods to Animal Experiments (ZEBET) was established at the Department of Veterinary Medicine of the German Federal Health Office (BGA) in 1989. It is supporting wherever possible the basic principles of animal protection: to replace animal experiments, to reduce the number of laboratory animals in experiments, and to reduce the suffering of those animals used in experiments. ZEBET is responsible for documentation of and information on alternative methods to animal experiments. ZEBET is also the national center for planning, funding and coordinating validation programs for alternative test methods and has laboratory facilities for developing new experimental approaches.
