The minimization of pain in laboratory animals is a gold standard with implications for improvements in both animal welfare and research quality. Changes in behavioral parameters may indicate that an animal is in pain, but in order to effectively use behavioral change to assess pain, the observer must be familiar with normal behaviors. The author discusses normal and pain-related behaviors exhibited by rodents, rabbits, and ferrets.
尽量减少实验动物的疼痛是一项黄金标准，这对改善动物福利和研究质量都有意义。行为参数的变化可能表明动物处于疼痛中，但为了有效地利用行为变化来评估疼痛，观察者必须熟悉正常行为。作者讨论了啮齿动物、兔子和雪貂表现出的正常行为和与疼痛相关的行为。
