OK, so What’s the Problem?OK, so What’s the Problem?

Numbers Counting Transferring Strain Maintenance Transgenic animals?

Problems – Ice Cream!!

How Many to ProduceHow Many to Produce

How may the Animal Resource Program justify numbers?

How may the PI justify numbers? Maintain the strain Research needs

• Loss due to genotype• Can only use one sex (M or F)

When do you count the animals?When do you count the animals?

At

Birth

Weaning, or

Somewhere in between (e.g., first cage change)

Transferring from Breeding to Research Transferring from Breeding to Research Protocols?Protocols?

Counting against other protocols

Using it for research/teaching or testing?

When to count Tracking the transfers

Any Guide Deviations?Any Guide Deviations?

Maybe,

Single housing

Trio Breeding

Delayed cage changes

Transgenic?Transgenic?

Who’s making them – ARP, the PI, a service unit? IACUC and IBC Protocol

Any problematic phenotypes

How about if transgenic animals are made offsite

Using PHS funds?

Are you AAALAC accredited; is your collaborator?- Who owns the animals

Need an MOU?
