Policies & Procedures
How to Transfer Animals
Animal Transfer Guidelines (apply to all animal transfers)
- Complete transfer form three business days prior to transport (Saturday, Sunday and holidays are not business days) to allow ULAR to:
- Receive approval and concurrence from both animal facilities
- To verify available space
- To verify health status of the animals
- Animals may NOT be transferred without a completed transfer form (facility and veterinary approval required)
- ULAR strongly encourages the PI staff to take advantage of the free ULAR transport services via a climate-controlled ULAR vehicle
- Alternatively, if PI staff chooses to move their own animals, ULAR will notify research staff when animals may be moved
- Animal transportation guidelines must be followed
- In all transfer situations, animals must be removed from existing room census and added to new room census
- Use the letter “T” for transfer
- Please note: Use the letter “U” when animals taken to the lab will not return to the facility and do not require a transfer form
Animals leaving the BRT barrier facility CANNOT return
