各位師長及研究人員您好，

有鑑於本校已指定列為110年度農委會查核對象(附件1)，北市府動物保護處日前已聯絡動物中心將於近期內實地訪查(時間尚未確定)。為符合農委會相關規範，以下事項懇請各位師生協助配合:

  1. 進行繁殖或特殊實驗分組者，請確保籠內飼養密度符合規範(小鼠5隻一籠，大鼠3隻一籠。肥胖大鼠建議一隻一籠)。
  2. 使用兔子請每月確實量秤體重並記錄，體重不可超過4公斤。
  3. 腫瘤接種小鼠經動物中心通知腫瘤過大或壞死時，請儘早結束實驗。
  4. 其他健康狀況不佳經動物中心通知，請儘早結束實驗。
  5. 自3/8(一)起為確實記錄各計畫書中所安樂死之動物，動物中心在各區域操作室之安樂死設備旁會提供「實驗動物安樂死犧牲紀錄」貼紙，請依照填寫範例(附件2)填寫後放置於B2F之4°C冰箱(附圖)，屆時B2F之-20°C冰箱將不開放自行使用。4F兔及雞安樂死後填寫「實驗動物安樂死犧牲紀錄」貼紙，並黏貼於盛裝動物屍體的醫療廢棄物塑膠袋上，仍放置於-20°C冰箱。

感謝各位師生的協助與配合

敬祝 研安

Dear TMU faculty,

In view of the fact that TMU has been designated as the inspection object of the annual scientific application agency from the Council of Agriculture (attachment 1), the Animal Protection Department of Taipei City government has contacted LAC for a field visit in the near future (the time has not been determined). In order to comply with the relevant regulations of the Council of Agriculture, teachers and students are kindly requested to cooperate in the following matters:

  1. For those who are grouped for breeding or special experiments, please ensure that the cage density meets the specifications (5 mice per cage, 3 rats per cage. Obese rats are recommended to be one cage per cage).
  2. When using rabbits, please measure and record the weight every month, and the weight should not exceed 4 kg.
  3. When the tumor inoculated mice are notified by LAC that the tumor is too large or necrotic, please end the experiment as soon as possible.
  4. Other poor health conditions are notified by LAC, please end the experiment as soon as possible.
  5. Since 3/8 (Monday), in order to accurately record the animals euthanized in each animal protocol, LAC will provide a sticker of “Euthanasia Record of Laboratory Animals” next to the euthanasia equipment in the operation room of each area. Please follow the filling example (attachment 2).  After filling it, place it in the 4°C refrigerator of B2F (attached pictures). At that time, the -20°C refrigerator of B2F will not be open for self-use. In the 4F, after rabbits and chickens are euthanized, fill in the “Experimental Animal Euthanasia Sacrifice Record” sticker, and paste it on the medical waste plastic bag containing the animal carcass, and keep it in the -20°C refrigerator.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Best Regards,

Laboratory Animal Center
