3. INTRODUCTION
 GLP for animal facilities is intended to assure qualities
maintenance and safety of animal used in laboratory
studies while conducting biomedical and behavioral
research and testing of products
 CPCSEA(Committee for the Purpose of Control and
Supervision on Experiment on Animal )
 The most commonly used animals:-
 Frog , Guinea Pig
 Mouse , Rat ,
 Rabbit , Monkey
 Cat , Dog , Sheep

4. ANIMAL HOUSE DESIGNING
 KEY COMPONENTS IN DESIGN
 Animal holding rooms
 Procedure rooms
 Washing area
 Storage
 Waste area
 Corridor
 Furniture and equipment
 Animal watering systems

5. Approximate net area of animal room

6. ANIMAL HOUSE DESIGNING
 Animal Holding Rooms :-
 Building Material :- Moisture proof, Fire resistant ,
Seamless materials are most desirable for interior
surfaces
 Corridor :- It should be wide enough to facilitate the
movement of personnel as well as equipment’s and
should be kept clean
 Floors :- Floors should be smooth ,moisture proof , skid
proof,

7. ANIMAL HOUSE DESIGNING
 Storage Area:-Separate storage area should be designed
for feed , bedding , cages and materials not in use .
Refrigerated storage is essential for storage of dead
animals and animal tissue waste.
 Animal Room Doors:-Doors should be rust , vermin and
dust proof . They should fit properly within their frames
provided with an observation window. Rodent barrier
can be provided in the doors of the small animal
facilities.

8. ANIMAL HOUSE DESIGNING
 Walls and Ceilings:- Walls should be free of cracks.
 Temperature and humidity control:- Air conditioning is
an effective means of regulating these environmental
parameters for laboratory animals.
 Power and Lighting:- Lighting system be installed that
provides adequate illumination while people are working
in the animal rooms and a lowered intensity of light for
the animals. Emergency power should be available in the
event of power failure.

10. ANIMAL HOUSE DESIGNING
 Noise Control:- Noise control is an important in
consideration in designing an animal facility. Concrete
wall are more effective than metal or plaster walls
containing noise because their density reduces sound
transmission.
 Physical separation of animals by species is
recommended to prevent inter-species disease
transmission and to eliminate anxiety and possible
physiological and behavioral changes due to inter-
species conflict.

13. FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE ANIMAL
RESEARCH
 Animal Related Factors
 Age Sex Reproductive status
 Genetic make-up
 Disease
 Biological rhythms
 Microbial flora

14. FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE ANIMAL
RESEARCH
 Physical & Environmental Factors
 Noise
 Room Temperature
 Lighting System
 Relative humidity
 Building
 Fluid and Water

15. VETERINARY CARE
 Animals should be observed regularly and problems of
animal health and behavior recorded & addressed
 Diseased animals should be isolated from healthy ones
 Personnel hygiene & Training of staff
 Initial in-house training should be imparted to the staff
associated with animal facility
 Appropriate & protective gears (gloves masks head
cover shoes
 Personnel should have periodic medical checkups to
ensure their health status

16. RECRRD KEEPING
 Animal facilities should have following records
 Animal house plan
 Name & addresses of the staff
 Health record of staff
 Training record of staff involved in animal care &
procedures
 Animal stock procurement & supply register
 Experimental records
 Clinical record of sick animal & any treatment
administered

17. CONCLUSION
 In the given study I have conclude that there are different
guidelines which must followed by us for better animal
studies & better result. There are so many parameters
which are affecting animal health & before going for
animal study all the factors should be studied for proper
designing of animal house.
