Abstract: The use of animals in scientific research today seems to represent one of the most conflicting bioethical discussions between researchers and animal protection groups.It is undisputed that the use of animal models has enabled the scientific development in the areas of health and animal production, and may be cited as the studies for the prevention and treatment of diseases in humans and animals, the development of surgical techniques, usability testing of drugs, relevant studies in physiology, biochemistry and animal behavior, and generate data from food consumption, digestion and metabolism of food and its nutrients, the study of weight gain, carcass composition, and other factors affecting livestock. Such advances in science would certainly not be achieved without the use of these experimental models, but the essence of animal use is opposed to the rights pertaining to them. Considering that this work raises controversial issues that need to be evaluated, aimed to review the issues involving ethics and animal welfare research in animal husbandry, the prospects of society protective of the rights of animals and researchers as to Law No. 11,794 of October 8, 2008 and the consequences of this law on the use of animals in scientific experimentation, and to stimulate reflection and discussion about the ethics and welfare of animals throughout the experiments husbandry.
