Tika Ethics – Our Partner in Ethical Review
To ensure the highest standards of animal welfare in research, we work closely with Tika Ethics, an independent Animal Ethics Committee (AEC) appointed under Section 101 of the Animal Welfare Act 1999. Tika Ethics brings together experienced veterinarians, scientists, and community representatives to provide ethical oversight, practical guidance, and timely review for research applications involving production animals. Their collaborative, pragmatic approach helps ensure that all studies are both scientifically sound and ethically approved.
