Animal Procurement

Requests for laboratory animals are processed with vendors, and deliveries to the specified animal facility are arranged. Rodent and rabbit shipping crates also are available on request. Large animals such as dogs, cats, non-human primates, and livestock can also be procured from approved sources.
