Standards for reliable reporting of trials in livestock and food safety
The REFLECT statement is a 22-item checklist that guides authors to effectively communicate the design and the outcomes of livestock trials related to production, health, and food safety. REFLECT statement focuses on field trials and challenge trials, and therapeutic and preventive interventions in livestock or with a focus on food safety. As the first reporting guideline for veterinary clinical trials, these groundbreaking publications were published in multiple journals.
