Division 7

Foetal and embryonic forms of mammalian species shall be excluded from the provision of annual statistical data. Only animals that are born, including by Caesarean section, and live are to be counted. When studies involve both mother and offspring, the mother shall be reported when she has been subject to a procedure above the threshold of minimum pain, suffering, distress and lasting harm. Offspring shall be reported when they are an integral part of the procedure.
