The mares are forced to live a hellish existence, with repeated pregnancies and numerous \u2018blood extractions\u2019 over a couple of months, early in their pregnancy, depending on the level of PMSG in their blood. PMSG is used to \u2018increase production\u2019 in farmed animals, usually pigs, to increase profit for farmers. These blood farms are a chilling example of exploiting and harming one species of animal, in order to further exploit another- just to produce something humans do not need.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horses are also farmed so their blood can be used in laboratories. Many people know about beagles in laboratories, and rats and mice, but horses are also exploited and harmed in the name of \u2018science. In 2023, there were 11,409 experiments conducted on horses compared to 8,212 in 2022. The most recent statistics of the number of animals used in British laboratories stated; <em>\u2019The main regulated procedure carried out on horses was for the routine production of blood-based products, which are used for a variety of laboratory uses.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A quick online search found a website explaining that:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>\u2018Horse and sheep blood are the most widely used animal blood products in culture media. The choice of\u00a0which type of blood to use with culture media is largely traditional, with much of continental Europe preferring sheep blood, whilst the UK and certain parts of the Commonwealth\u00a0prefer horse blood.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same company explains they have<em>: \u2018two licenced donor animal blood harvesting farms.\u2019 <\/em>and that <em>\u2018All donor collection procedures are carried out under a Project Licence from the Home Office under the Animals (Scientific procedures) Act 1986.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our roadmap to \u2018phase out animal testing\u2019 explains the importance of \u2018non-animal new approach methodologies\u2019.
