UC Davis, EH&S - Animal Use & Care - Classes/Videos/SafetyNets

Training resources related to animal use & care have been identified and divided by classes, safetynets and videotapes. You can use these additional resources to enhance your departmental training program.

TRAINING CLASSES

LAB ANIMAL SKILLS
These three-hour classes focus on the practical handling, restraint, gavage, injection, and blood collection techniques commonly used with laboratory rats and mice (classes for other species can often be scheduled upon special request). Following a video demonstration and discussion, participants then practice what they have learned during the hands-on session. Classes include a very brief discussion of laws and regulations, animal health and welfare, and occupational health requirements. Participants are requested to attend a "Animal Care & Use 101" seminar prior to participating in a skills class. Every attempt is made to tailor classes to the specific needs of participants. Faculty, staff, and students working with laboratory animals are encouraged to enroll to learn new skills or update techniques. Maximum enrollment: 6 participants per class. Classes scheduled as needed.

For more information call Sherri Goss at 752-5837.

ANIMAL CARE & USE 101
All Individuals including faculty, staff, and students (employees or volunteers) who are named on an Animal Use and Care Protocol or have exposure to live vertebrate animals must attend the "Animal Care and Use 101" course.
