25.15 - Water Supply Interruption

Linda — Thu, 08 May 2008 15:53:06 -0500

Animals must have a continuous supply of potable water. The water supply to all animal facilities on campus is obtained from the City of Oxford’s chlorinated/fluorinated water supply. Water bottles are used to provide water to most species. Water bottles and sanitized containers may be used to transport water from one facility that has water to another that does not. Facility entry orders should be observed whenever possible. If the entire campus is without water, potable water should be obtained from a commercial source.

25.14 - Tornado or Other Severe Storms

Linda — Thu, 08 May 2008 15:50:50 -0500

Animal health checks: All animals will be checked as soon as access to the facilities is permitted by the safety personnel. Dead animals will be removed from cages and put into a cold room. If the animal morgue is damaged by the tornado, dead animals may be taken to a refrigerator in another facility and stored until arrangements for pick-up and disposal can be made, or may be cremated. Animals to be relocated due to tornado damage to a facility will be moved as soon as possible to another suitable facility.

25.13 - Temperature Problems

Linda — Thu, 08 May 2008 15:48:16 -0500

Temperature problems include animal rooms which are too hot or too cold, as defined by the AF parameters for housing each species. Minor temperature variances (which involve only a room or two, and are not a short-term threat to animal health) are dealt with by the on-call Supervisor. Serious variances (which involve large portions of facilities, endanger animal health, or are likely to be prolonged) are communicated to the Director.
