Sure. Animal care regulations are in place to ensure animal safety and well-being as well as to make sure that all aspects of their environment and care complies with applicable laws. To help interpret the rules, it is important to read the specific regulation to understand what activities require authorization, what standards apply for housing, nutrition, transportation, sanitation and veterinary care, among other points. These regulations can sometimes be complex so it is best to consult an expert or your local animal regulatory authorities if you have any questions or concerns.

Sure. Animal care regulations are laws and standards set by the government that provide humane treatment for laboratory animals. The most important rule is that animals should be treated humanely and any procedure performed on the animal should minimize pain and distress. Specific procedures, such as handling of anesthetics or genetic manipulation must also be in compliance with regulations. Finally, all research facilities that maintain laboratory animals must be inspected and routinely monitored to make sure that these regulations are being met.
