Abstract
Various upcoming techniques can be used in replacement of experiments requiring animal sacrifice or products of animal sacrifice. In many instances these techniques provide more reproducibility and control of parameter, compared to experiments involving animal or animal products. Use of these techniques can avoid the question of the animal sacrifice during experiment and subsequently permission of ethical approval. In silico simulation, informatics, 3D cell culture models, organ-on-chips are some innovative technology which can reduce the number of animals sacrifice. Scientist evolved some innovative culture procedures and production of animal friendly affinity reagents which are free from the product of animal sacrifice. Direct investigation on human body for treatment as well as further research, electronic health record is also helpful in the reduction of animals sacrifice in biomedical investigations. These techniques and strategies of research can be more cost effective as well as more relevant to various issues related to the human health. Some medical blunder has also been reported after the successful testing of drugs on animal's model. Hence, the reliability of animal experiment in context with human health is questionable. Alternative to animal experiments help to reduce the number of animals required for research up to certain extent but is not able to eliminate the need for animals in research completely. Wisely use of animals in teaching & research is expected and the importance of animal experimentation in futuristic development in life science cannot be ignored.
