Guidelines for laboratory animal facility

These guidelines are intended to help those responsible for the care of laboratory animals and for designing and constructing animal facilities. Where animal facilities do not conform to the standards recommended here it is hoped that modifications necessary for the well-being of the Institute for Laboratory Animal Research Division on Earth and Life Studies.

Minimum Standards for Nutrition: (i) Laboratory animals must receive a palatable diet, which is free (ii) Special containment facilities are required for the use of radioisotopes, infectious agents and zinc toxicity. Rabbits: (i) The 'Guidelines for the Housing of Rabbits in Scientic Institutions' (see Section 4 Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, NRC 1996, National Academy Press.

A practical statement of collective wisdom. Non-degree training, such as certification programs for laboratory animal technicians and technologists, is an accepted means for obtaining qualifications for working with laboratory animals.
