Scientific Research
Pure or basic scientific research is aimed at finding out how organisms develop or
function. It seeks to discover and gather more information about a particular species, its
anatomy, physiology or how it behaves and reacts to certain environmental stimuli. The
main purpose of animal testing is simply to add to current scientific knowledge by using
certain animal species.
Drug Testing
Before a new drug is to be tested on humans, it first is tested on animals. Various doses
are administered to gather data on the responses and reactions to the drug. Metabolic
tests regarding how the animal's body treats the drug are also done, and information on
how the animal's body reacts to the drug is noted.
Cosmetics
Various cosmetics are tested on animals to ensure that they will not cause irritation and
hypersensitivity reactions in humans. Because cosmetics are mostly used on skin
surfaces, procedures--such as patch-testing--are usually done on animals to provide
data on whether the substance causes skin irritation, and to what degree. If the test
animal does not show any signs of skin irritation such as redness, swelling, or itchiness,
then the cosmetic may be classified as non-irritating.
Toxicology Testing
Various tests are done on many products like pesticides, food additives, medications
and household products to determine safety and toxicity data. Both the products and the
chemicals present in them are subjected to toxicity testing, and the amounts at which
these substances bring about toxic effects are noted. The different signs and symptoms
of toxicity are also observed.
Psychological
Psychological research is done to determine behaviors of animals towards certain
conditions or stimuli, and seeks to answer questions regarding human behavior. For this
purpose, animals are often subjected to mimic human psychological disorders, such as
addiction, pain, food deprivation and maternal separation. Data is gathered and
conclusions are derived to provide further information that is aimed at understanding
human behavior in such situations; however, the benefit to current knowledge of using
animals for this purpose has not yet been established and remains largely controversial.
