• To ensure that research facilities provide their animals with proper veterinary care, APHIS requires that they employ an attending veterinarian who is located on the premises or who makes regularly scheduled visits.
• The facility must also establish a program of veterinary care that includes procedures for the administration of vaccines, regular examinations, and the care of sick animals.
• Researchers using regulated animals must follow professionally accepted standards of humane treatment and use, which includes administering pain-relieving medication or anaesthesia for procedures that cause more than momentary pain or distress, unless withholding those agents is scientifically justified. Further, the program must include provisions for the humane euthanasia of animals, in accordance with American Veterinary Medical Association recommendations.
