Animal Care Services offers breeding services to cover all aspects of managing your rodent colonies. We can breed, maintain, and transfer your experimental models anywhere across ACUP facilities as needed.

Breeding areas are restricted to ACS personnel only, which reduces traffic to help successfully breed more difficult and fragile strains and helps prevent the introduction of pathogens. A colony manager is assigned to a specific lab which works with lab staff to effectively and efficiently handle all of your experimental needs and timelines.
