Animal Care Facilities

The AMRIS facility is approved for animal use by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). Animal use rooms undergo biannual review by UF IACUC and are maintained to the highest standards for such use. AMRIS has the industry’s best noninvasive monitoring and animal care equipment. In-building animal housing is available for rodent, rabbit and feline species with remote facilities for housing large animals and primates. Veterinary and husbandry staff are available 24 hours a day. Special rooms are available for housing, veterinary care and procedures, surgery, behavior, quarantine, necropsy and various BSL requirements. The program is fully accredited by the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC). The facility occupies 75,000 square feet of versatile and well-equipped animal care space, including operating rooms and limited radiological examination rooms.
