Animal Care and Husbandry

The CMARC provides animal care and husbandry to a wide variety of animal models 365 days a year. Animal care is provided by dedicated individuals trained to ensure that the physiological and psychological needs of the animals are met. This involves providing adequate food and water, appropriate environmental enrichment for each species of animal, maintaining accurate records, monitoring environmental parameters and health of the animals.

All new research staff working with laboratory animals must attend a facility orientation prior to receiving access to any animal facility.
