Guide for the
Care and Use of Agricultural Animals in Agricultural Research and
Teaching
National Association of State Universities and
Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC) organized a consortium in May 1986 to develop
the Guide for the Care and Use of Agricultural Animals in Agricultural
Research and Teaching. It was intended to be used much as the Guide for
the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals is used for animals in biomedical
research. The Agriculture Guide provides information on the most common
agricultural animals under a variety of teaching and research circumstances.
This is the basis upon which care and use of agricultural animals are
evaluated in UNL research and teaching programs.
The Federation of Animal Science Societies published the first
edition for the care and use of Agricultural Animals in Agricultural Research
and Teaching in 1999.
