    Study Notes

    Regulations Governing Animal Care and Use

    • The Animal Welfare Act (AWA) and Animal Welfare Regulations (AWR) are federal regulations that impact the care and use of animals in research, teaching, and testing.
    • Institutions involved in animal use must follow these regulations, which are enforced by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).

    The Animal Welfare Act (AWA)

    • Passed in 1966 as the Laboratory Animal Welfare Act, it was the first law to regulate the sale, transport, and handling of non-farm animals in the US.
    • AWA has been amended multiple times, most recently in 2018, and its requirements are set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 9, Chapter 1, Subchapter A.
    • The USDA is responsible for administering and enforcing the AWA, with the Animal Care Program of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) responsible for implementation.

    Animal Welfare Regulations (AWR)

    • AWR provide more specific details on how to achieve compliance with the AWA.
    • They require all research facilities to establish an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), which must submit an annual report to the USDA.
    • AWR also require licensing and registration, and inspectors perform unannounced visits at least once a year, with violations resulting in penalties.

    Amendments to the Animal Welfare Act

    • 1970 Amendment (Public Law 91-579): renamed the Laboratory Animal Welfare Act to the Animal Welfare Act, and extended oversight to intra- and interstate transportation of animals.
    • 1976 Amendment (Public Law 94-279): redefined the regulation of animals during transportation, and prohibited most animal fighting activities.
    • 1985 Amendment (Public Law 99-198): established the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and Animal Welfare Information Center, and introduced guidelines for surgical procedures, mandatory training, and other requirements.

    Public Health Service Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals

    • Requires all federal grant recipients to comply with the US Principles, the AWA, and the Guide.
    • Includes requirements for an IACUC and an occupational health and safety program.
    • Applies to all vertebrates, including rats, mice, and birds.

    US Government Principles for the Utilization and Care of Vertebrate Animals

    • Presents overarching principles for the humane care and use of animals in research, teaching, and testing.
    • Emphasizes the relevance of animal use to the good of society.
