Specific pathogen free (SPF) chickens are the main laboratory poultry used in biomedicine and animal husbandry. SPF chickens are used for scientific research, production and testing of biological products for humans, livestock and poultry， so they are indispensable laboratory animals and raw materials. This paper introduced the background, purpose, scope, content, and significance of the group standard Laboratory Animal—Guideline for the Welfare of SPF Chickens. This standard provides the necessary welfare for SPF chickens in institutions, animal facilities, animal environments, daily management, experimental operations, and transportation. The implementation of the standard is aimed at regulating the management of SPF chickens, improving the quality of SPF chickens, and providing better services for research and production. It also promotes scientific development, protect human health, and bring the SPF chicken laboratory animal industry in line with international standards.
