I. Animal models for research; toxicology; animal nutrition; and intensive systems for the production of animal proteins.

An animal model usually refers to a non-human animal with a disease that is similar to a human condition. These test conditions are often termed as animal models of disease. The use of animal models allows researchers to investigate disease states in ways that would be inaccessible to a human patient.

In order to serve as a useful model, a modeled disease must be similar in etiology (mechanism of cause) and function to the human equivalent. Animal models are used to learn more about a disease, its diagnosis, and its treatment.
