Dette formularet er et forslag til engelst tekst for de som skal publisere resultatene fra norske dyreforsøk i utenlandske tidsskrifter, og som trenger en beskrivelse av norsk saksgang og lovgivning. En del av formuleringene er utarbeidet av Forsøksdyrutvalget, som takkes herved.
Formularet bør underskrives av ansvarshavende på forsøksdyravdelingen hvor dyreforsøkene ble gjennomført. Forsøksdyrutvalget bør kontaktes dersom det dreier seg om feltforsøk som utvalget har godkjent.
Eventuelle kommentarer mottas med takk!
