About us

Ethical research starts with animal welfare

At Vivotecnia, we believe there is no quality science without ethics.
That’s why animal welfare is not an added value – it’s the foundation of how we work.

Animal welfare

The 3Rs: Our ethical frameworks

We strictly apply the principles of Replacement, Reduction and Refinement in all our preclinical studies, folloring European directives and best practices recommended by FELASA and OECD 

Replace

Replacement

We promote the use of alternative, non-animal methods whenever scientifically and regulatory feasible, in line with international guidelines.

Reduce

Reduction

We design efficient studies to use the minimum number of animals needed to achieve valid, reproducible results

Refine

Refinement

We continuously improve our procedures to minimize pain, stress and suffering, ensuring enriched and monitored environments

Facilities designed for well-being

Our animal facilities feature specialized housing that meets or exceeds Worldwide welfare standards, and we implement an active enrichment program tailored to each species.

Qualified and committed team

Our team is composed of trained animal caretakers, experienced veterinary staff, and researchers specialized in laboratory animal science. All personnel undergo regular training in animal welfare and strictly follow internal protocols audited under ISO 9001:2015, and are periodically evaluated by the competent authorities in animal welfare.
