Instruction to researchers about the use of animals in research (PDF)
Whether you are a new or experienced user of our services, there are different things you need to do in order to get started.
If you have not used the core facility's services or facilities before, we encourage you to book a meeting with one of our veterinarians for a discussion of your project and the necessary steps to take before you can get started.
Topics to be discussed with the veterinarian:
To book a meeting, please send an e-mail to emed-vet@sund.ku.dk.
After the meeting, you must fill out relevant documents from Forms and requisions based on the meeting with the veterinarian before you can begin an experiment.
You will also need to fill out the access form in order to gain access to the facility's units, as well as create a user account at ACF to order services or animals. If needed, you can see a list of all our forms and requisitions.
If you are an experienced user and need to start a new type of experiment, you will need to fill out a new project plan. We recommend that you meet with one of our veterinarians to talk about your new experiment. To book a meeting with a veterinarian, please send an e-mail to emed-vet@sund.ku.dk.
If you consider a meeting to be unnecessary, you can fill out a new project plan without meeting with one of our veterinarians.
Download and fill out one of the project plans depending on the type of experiment you will be doing.
Templates for the project plans can be found in the list of our forms and requisitions. There are 3 different types of project plans (experiments with rodents, experiments with other animals, and breeding).
Please notice that the project plan is only valid for 2 years.
The policy for survival surgery was officially implemented on 1 July 2024.
