Excerpt

Animal care and use programs are complex, and not surprisingly, extensive documentation is required by regulation and policy to ensure that appropriate standards are achieved. This chapter presents four areas of an animal use program for which specific documentation is necessary: the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee/Oversite Body (IACUC/OB), the animal resources and facility operations, good laboratory practice (GLP), and select agents.
