Animal and Plant Care

This program focuses on the responsible use and care of animals and plants within a research and teaching environment. St. Francis Xavier University's program is certified by the Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC) and adheres to Good Animal Practice (GAP). The program involves a dedicated animal care facility and trained staff, including a Senior Animal and Plant Care Technician, an Animal Care Technician, and student assistants. The Animal Care Committee (ACC) oversees animal use protocols, standard operating procedures, and policies, typically meeting three times a year. Key ethical principles such as Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement (the "Three R's") are embedded in the program's conduct, promoting responsible scientific practices.
