Quality Science Merges with Animal Welfare
The Laboratory Animal Resources Center (LARC) oversees and supports the procurement, housing, health, and welfare of research animals at Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ facilities in Lubbock, Amarillo and Abilene under the direct supervision of the Institutional Veterinarian. In partnership with the Institutional Animal Care & Use Committee, we monitor the use of research animals to ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations as well as University policies.
