Odsjek za laboratorijske životinje HIIM u suradnji sa nastavnim i istraživačkim timovima HIIM-a i MF-a, doprinositi izvrsnosti istraživanja koja se provode, osiguravajući kvalitetan uzgoj, držanje i njegu laboratorijskih životinja. Primarni cilj odsjeka je da uz osiguravanje najviših standarda držanja i korištenja laboratorijskih životinjama zaštiti zdravlje ljudi koji rade sa ili oko životinja.
Vjerujemo da su najviši standardi u korištenju i dobrobit životinja, preduvjet za izvrsnost u znanosti i edukaciji koja koristi animalne modele.
Životinje koje koristimo u edukaciji i istraživanjima na HIIM-a su u programu zaštite dobrobiti životinja koji je osmišljen tako da se zadovolje svi kriteriji definirani hrvatskom zakonskom regulativom (Zakon o zaštiti životinja NN 135/06 i 37/13, Pravilnik o zaštiti životinja koje se koriste u znanstvene svrhe NN55/13, te pravni akti javnog zdravstva .
Odsjek za laboratorijske životinje HIIM-a je registriran i odobren za uzgoj držanje i korištenje laboratorijskih glodavaca za edukativne i istraživačke svrhe od strane Uprave za veterinarstvo i sigurnost hrane pri Ministarstva poljoprivrede RH od 2013. godine (HR- POK006).
