Adoption of Research Animals
The College of Veterinary Medicine has adopted a
policy regarding the adoption of animals used in research and teaching.
This policy may be viewed at
http://www.vet.ksu.edu/policy/adoption.htm. Should an investigator
wish to place their animals for adoption at the end of the study, these
plans should be included in their IACUC application and the request
should be coordinated with the ARF veterinary staff to ensure that all
applicable laws and regulations have been met.
