生物医学行业依靠动物技术人员 (AT) 的技能将实验动物福利付诸实践。这是第一项探讨如何在参与实施精炼和减少方面实现这一目标的研究，这是被认为是人道动物实验的三个关键指导道德原则（“3R”）中的两项。解释性方法有助于社会科学和人文学科领域的新兴工作探索实践中的护理和伦理。基于对英国大学动物研究设施内参与者观察的定性分析、对 AT、设施经理和其他利益相关者的深入访谈以及对监管指南的分析，我们对法律对 AT 的最低要求以及他们的护理工作如何不仅满足而且经常超出这些要求进行了对比。我们概述了 AT 如何成为改进动物护理和减少动物使用的创新和洞察的关键来源（迄今为止尚未得到正式承认）。将 AT 护理工作作为实践中伦理的一个例子进行探索，为医疗保健和动物福利领域关于技术、监管和行为如何培育和维持“护理文化”的更广泛的辩论做出了原创贡献。
The biomedical industry relies on the skills of animal technologists (ATs) to put laboratory animal welfare into practice. This is the first study to explore how this is achieved in relation to their participation in implementing refinement and reduction, two of the three key guiding ethical principles––the “3Rs”––of what is deemed to be humane animal experimentation. The interpretative approach contributes to emerging work within the social sciences and humanities exploring care and ethics in practice. Based on qualitative analysis of participant observation within animal research facilities in UK universities, in-depth interviews with ATs, facility managers, and other stakeholders, and analysis of regulatory guidelines, we draw a contrast between the minimum required of ATs by law and how their care work not only meets but often exceeds these requirements. We outline how ATs constitute a key source of innovation and insight into the refinement of animal care and the reduction of animal use, hitherto not formally acknowledged. Exploring AT care work as an example of ethics in practice makes an original contribution to broader debates within health care and animal welfare about how technology, regulation, and behavior can foster and sustain a “culture of care”.
