Animal Husbandry

The animal care facilities are located in the basement of the Crawford Hall of Science (Suite 119).  Animals may not be housed in other locations for periods of longer than 12 hours without prior approval of the study area by the IACUC. Regardless of where animals are housed the Principal Investigator has responsibility for the procurement of animal cages, feed, bedding, and other supplies. They must also provide, and are responsible for, the daily husbandry and the general health of the laboratory animals under their care.
