The principle of reducing the number of animals used should not be implemented at the expense of greater suffering of individual animals. Scientific and teaching activities involving the use of animals must not be repeated unless essential for the purpose or design of the project. Teaching activities must involve no more than the minimum number of animals required to reach the educational objectives. Overproduction of animals bred for scientific purposes should be avoided so that the need to kill healthy animals is minimized. ______: Animals must be suitable for the scientific purpose taking into account their biological characteristics including behaviour, genetic attributes and nutritional, microbiological and general health status. The design and management of animal accommodation should meet with species-specific needs. Special consideration is required where this is precluded by the requirements of the project. Animals should be transported, housed, fed, watered, handled and used under conditions that meet species-specific needs Ethical issues in agricultural research Sustainability: The ethical dilemmas arise when short term problems are preferred over long term ones. Institutional capacities to address long term problems require different kinds of reinforcement than otherwise.

Study Notes
Ethical Dilemmas in Agricultural Research
- Ethical dilemmas arise when certain sectors, segments, social classes, and seasons are preferred over others in problem-solving, solution diffusion, and locating problems.
- Inter-species and inter-sectorial concerns influence the sustainability of outcomes.
- Sustainability is about both continuity and discontinuity (innovations or fundamental change in values).
Eco-System Health
- Scientists may develop technologies that impair ecosystem health despite knowing about the concomitants of ecosystem health.
- Transferring costs of near-term tradeoffs to longer-term stakeholders may not be ethical or economically judicious.
- The use of chemical inputs with known long-term consequences affects ecosystem health.
- Judgments are involved when banned chemicals are used in developing countries, and the precautionary principle is applied or not.
Responsiveness
- Not all problems are equally important, and biases exist in favor of interesting problems over relevant ones.
- The importance of a problem is not always equally recognized.
Research Ethics
- Research ethics involve the application of fundamental ethical principles to various topics, including scientific research.
- Key issues include human experimentation, animal experimentation, scientific misconduct, whistleblowing, and regulation of research.
- The 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and Nuremberg Code are key agreements in medical research.
Research in Social Sciences
- Research in social sciences presents a different set of issues than those in medical research.
- The academic research enterprise is built on trust, and researchers must exemplify and transmit the values associated with ethical research conduct.
Education and Capacity Building
- The education system can make ethical judgments when it includes or excludes content and pedagogical means.
- Location specificity and institutional incentives can create challenges in developing technologies that address specific problems.
- Capacity building is essential for addressing future problems and creating a capacity to face emerging challenges.
Accountability
- Researchers often do not share their findings with the people from whom they collect data.
- The community of corporations must evolve its own code of conduct to censor unacceptable behavior.
Animal Welfare
- The principle of reducing the number of animals used should not be implemented at the expense of greater suffering of individual animals.
- Scientific and teaching activities involving animals must not be repeated unless essential.
- Overproduction of animals bred for scientific purposes should be avoided.
- Refinement and special consideration are required for animal accommodation and transportation.
