Introduction and Goals
CPCSEA stands for Committee for the Purpose of Control and Supervision of
Experiments on Animals
The goal of CPCSEA is to ensure that animals are not subjected to unnecessary
pains or suffering before, during or after performance of experiments on them.
The animal house facility is available to promote the teaching, training and
research facilities and to meet the growing demand for quality.

Objectives
1. Experiments shall be performed in every case by or under the supervision of a
person duly qualified in that behalf, that is Degree or Diploma holders in
veterinary science or medicine or laboratory animal science of a university.
2. Experiments are performed with due care and humanity and that as far as
possible experiments involving operations are performed under the influence of
some anaesthetic of sufficient power to prevent the animals feeling pain.
3. Animals which, in the course of experiments under the influence of anaesthetics
are so injured that their recovery would involve serious suffering, are ordinarily
destroyed while still insensible.
4. Experiments on animal are avoided wherever it is possible to do so, as for
example in medical schools, hospitals, colleges and the like, if other teaching
devices such as books, models, films and the like, may equally suffice.
