Statistics on the Use of Animals in Research, Testing and Teaching in New Zealand

This data, provided to MPI by organisations and individuals who use animals in research, testing and teaching, is collated and published in a summary report on the MPI website each year. Please note that the number of animals used in long-term projects are not reported annually, but either every three years or at the end of the year in which the project is completed (if fewer than three years).

Two datasets are also provided. Animal Usage by Institution Category is a breakdown by the type of organisation. Animal Usage by Animal Category is a breakdown by the animal species.
