• About Animal Scoop

You are strongly encouraged to join University Animal Care LISTSERV called "Animal Scoop". Animal Scoop is the primary means by which UAC notifies investigators of laboratory animal related issues that are of vital concern to your research.  In addition, the listserv provides a forum to discuss issues related to animal research and to encourage the sharing of expertise within our University related to animal research.

University Animal Care is committed to provide the best service possible to our customers. Meetings to explore approaches to improve communication, training and service to our investigators resulted in the formation of Animal Scoop, the "alert" system wherein we can notify you of diseases, power outages, or other emergency situations in a matter of minutes. In the past, this involved much paperwork, the campus mail system, and/or phone calls which did not allow expedient notification.

Among the topics that may be discussed are: technical information, resources, animal diseases, facility issues, husbandry issues, security issues, notices of local comparative medicine and laboratory animal science seminars, and requests for local assistance with animal research.

UAC requests that at least one member of each laboratory that utilizes research animals subscribe to animal scoop since this is the primary method used to disseminate important information to the users of research animals on campus. Please check with other members in your laboratory to ensure this is the case.
