| 30 | 0bd14c25b9d2d034 | 2.31(c)(7) | 0 | INSTITUTIONAL ANIMAL CARE AND USE COMMITTEE (IACUC). | At the time of inspection, upon reviewing animal use logs, it was discovered that three animals that underwent xray procedures as part of a teaching protocol, had more that the number of xrays that were specified in the teaching protocol approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). The protocol specifies that no animal shall have more than ten xrays taken, yet the record showed that on 7/1/15 one dog had 18 xrays taken, and on 7/2/15 one dog had 18 xrays taken, and another had 23 xrays taken. Significant changes to the protocol cannot be carried out unless approved by the IACUC. The IACUC is responsible for reviewing all components of proposed animal use, and ensuring that the animals are treated in the most humane manner possible, that protects their well-being. Unapproved changes to protocol specifications, such as excessive xrays, could be detrimental to the animals. To be corrected from this time forward. |
