Animal Care
The use of animals for research, teaching and testing is a privilege, one that comes with important responsibilities: to ensure that good science is done; to meet our ethical responsibilities for ensuring that every animal is treated humanely and not subjected to unnecessary pain or distress, and; to work within the accepted standards for experimental animal care and use. All Animal Use Protocols (.pdf) are reviewed by the University of Saskatchewan Animal Care Committee (UACC). For more information or to submit your protocol (.pdf), please contact applied.research@saskpolytech.ca
