Abstract

As the main place for animal rearing and experimentation, laboratory animal facilities have strict limitations on environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, pressure difference, noise, cleanliness, and air exchange rate, and there are standardized requirements in management for personnel operations, entry and exit of items and animals into and out of the facilities. Through accumulating the construction and management experience of the laboratory animal facilities of Guangdong Medical University where the author is located for nearly 14 years (from 2010 to 2024), the author explores and summarizes from the aspects of upgrading and maintenance of animal facilities, aiming to provide practical and feasible practical references for the construction of laboratory animal facilities in ordinary Chinese universities and research institutes.
