I analysed in detail 27 systematic reviews examining the contributions of animal experiments to human healthcare.
We used our statistical model to estimate the relative contributions of animal-to-human and human-to-human transmission.
A relative transmission index (RTI) was used to assess the potential contribution of animals and humans to FZT transmission.
At the same time it would also be desirable to optimize the best contribution of animals to the next generation, in order to reduce the pace at which the inbreeding coefficient is increasing every generation.
Last year they estimated (pdf) that the contribution of animal agriculture to greenhouse gas emissions is as high as 25%.
The contribution of animal-based methods in toxicology to hazard identification of chemicals in food and diet is discussed.
Toxic RNA diseases, and in particular myotonic dystrophy, clearly illustrate the critical contribution of animal models of disease in translational research: from gene mutation to disease mechanisms, and ultimately to therapy development.
Among other things, the Spanish organizations pledge to publicly recognize the fact that they're doing animal research, talk clearly about when, how, and why they use animals, allow visitors into their facilities, highlight the contribution of animal research during the dissemination of results, and publicize efforts to replace, reduce, and refine animal research.
Without addressing the contribution of animal agriculture to climate change, we are merely slapping band aids on bullet holes.
We used the nutritional indices calculated as per capita food energy supplied from animal food (Kcal), total and animal protein (g), total and animal fat (g), contribution of animal-derived energy, contribution of animal protein, contribution of animal fat, contributions of protein and fat to total energy, and energy from sugar and alcohol (Kcal) as the indicators of food quality.
Therefore, diet patterns such as WDP and SCP, with a high contribution of animal products such as meat and dairy products present higher footprint values.
