The American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM) is a specialty board recognized by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) as the certifying organization for laboratory animal medicine, a recognized specialty within the veterinary medical profession.

Provide a mechanism for the exchange of scientific and technical information among veterinarians engaged in laboratory animal practice.

The European Society of Laboratory Animal Veterinarians (ESLAV) gives veterinarians a forum to discuss issues which concern them, in the field of laboratory animal science, in general and in Europe specifically.

The society's objectives are to promote and disseminate expert veterinary knowledge within the field of laboratory animal science.

FELASA, the Federation of Laboratory Animal Science Associations, represents common interests in the furtherance of all aspects of laboratory animal science (LAS) in Europe and beyond. Membership is open to LAS associations of nations of Europe.

The aims of ICLAS are:
To promote and coordinate the development of Laboratory Animal Science throughout the world and as a matter of priority in developing countries;
To promote international collaboration in Laboratory Animal Science;
To promote quality definition and monitoring of Laboratory Animals;
To collect and disseminate information on Laboratory Animal Science;
To promote world-wide harmonization in the care and use of laboratory animals;
To promote the humane use of animals in research through recognition of ethical principles and scientific responsibilities;
To promote the ‘3R’ tenets of Russell and Burch.

The key aim of LASA is to advance this knowledge of the care and welfare of laboratory animals and to promote refinement of scientific procedures.

Provides professional and technical service for laboratory animal care, veterinary medical services, and animal research project support for faculty, students and employees of Washington University. In keeping with the Washington University Policy on Animal Care, DCM is committed to ensuring high standards of humane animal care and use necessary to the pursuit and achievement of scientific excellence.

מטרת הפורום היא להוות מרכז מקצועי בתחום המחקר בחיות מעבדה. הפורום מארגן פגישות וכינוסים מקצועיים, דואג לעדכון החברים בעזרת חומר מקצועי ומהווה מקום מפגש להחלפת דעות, ולמתן פתרונות לבעיות מקצועיות.
הפורום מאגד בתוכו את מרבית הוטרינרים העוסקים ברפואת חיות מעבדה, חוקרים מתחומי הביולוגיה, פיתוח תרופות, טוקסיקולוגיה וביוטכנולוגיה, טכנאים בכירים ונציגי חברות הקשורות לתחום חיות המעבדה, והציוד הייחודי הקשור לתחזוקת החיות ולטיפול בהן. בפורום חברים רופאים וטרינרים, מומחים בתחום רפואת חיות מעבדה בארץ, במסגרת ארגונים ציבוריים ומשרדים ממשלתיים שונים, וכמו כן אנשי מקצוע בכירים שמומחיותם מוכרת באירופה ובארה"ב.

Altweb has five practical goals:

To assist scientists and others seeking to conduct a search for alternatives methods.
to serve as a CRP—"central reference point"—for alternatives information, publications, databases, calendars, and other resources.
to support the creation and maintenance of new alternative resources as needed, when no other organization can/will do so to promote the use of alternatives resources by publicizing them on the site and through e-mail or other outreach to facilitate communication and collaboration among members of the alternatives community, in particular those who work in database or information management.

Tיק EPAA is a voluntary collaboration between the European Commission, European trade associations, and companies from seven industry sectors.
The partners are committed to pooling knowledge and resources to accelerate the development, validation and acceptance of alternative approaches to further the replacement, reduction and refinement (3Rs) of animal use in regulatory testing.

FRAME is dedicated to the development of new and valid methods that will replace the need for laboratory animals in medical and scientific research, education, and testing. Where the use of animals is currently necessary, FRAME supports the reduction of numbers involved to an unavoidable minimum and refinement of experimental procedures to minimise any suffering caused.

Promote humane science by supporting the creation, development, validation, and use of alternatives to animals in research, product safety testing, and education. Seeks to effect change by working with scientists in industry, government, and academia to find new ways to replace animals with non-animal methods, reduce the numbers of animals necessary, or refine methods to make them less painful or stressful to the animals involved.

The Institute for In Vitro Sciences, Inc. is a non-profit research and testing laboratory dedicated to the advancement of in vitro (non-animal) methods worldwide. Founded in 1997, IIVS has worked with industry and government agencies to implement in vitro testing strategies that limit animal use while supplying key information for product safety and efficacy decisions.

An independent scientific organisation, tasked by Government, it support the UK science base by driving and funding innovation and technological developments that replace or reduce the need for animals in research and testing, and lead to improvements in welfare where animals continue to be used.

ALN is a multi-media resource for products and information to design, build, equip, and operate research animal facilities globally. From new product announcements to timely articles, ALN features the latest technology, products, and equipment used in laboratory animal science.

The mission is to discover precise genomic solutions for disease and empower the global biomedical community in the shared quest to improve human health.

LAL is a registered charity whose aims are to promote education and training in laboratory animal science.

This website provides information on laboratory animal science and alternatives to the use of animals in research, teaching and school dissection classes.
