    Summary

    A new computerized animal stock control system using bar-coded cage labels improves facility management. This accurate and economical system helps researchers track animals and associated costs effectively.

    Area of Science:

    • Animal research facility management
    • Laboratory animal science
    • Biomedical research infrastructure

    Background:

    • Effective management of research facilities relies on accurate animal inventory.
    • Licence-holders need timely information on animals held and associated costs.
    • Manual inventory systems can be time-consuming and prone to errors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the implementation of a computerized stock control system for laboratory animals.
    • To assess the system's impact on facility management efficiency and accuracy.
    • To evaluate the system's economic viability and ease of use.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a stock control system utilizing bar-coded cage labels.
    • Integration of the system into daily operations of a large research institute's animal house.
