To ensure optimal quality and cost-efficiency of consumables and resources used in the Animal Facility, trial periods involving bedding, enrichment materials, and diets are periodically implemented to support and qualify the tendering process.

During these evaluation periods, Animal Facility management carefully considers strategies to minimize potential impacts on animal welfare and ongoing research activities.

Notifications regarding such trial periods will be communicated in advance via the facility homepage and email, allowing researchers to plan sensitive studies accordingly with the dedicated animal technician.
