Availability of laboratory animals is crucial for teaching and research in pharmaceutical sciences. A central animal house facility exists for breeding of common species of laboratory animals and for maintaining experimental animals used by the research students. At present, the animal house maintain about……. Mice,…..rats, several rabbits and…..
The Institute has a 1,000 sq.ft. animal housing facilities with air conditioned
facility with a rabbit run made by using Canadian know how which is first of
its kind in India. The animal house is the unique of it’s sort in Delhi
meeting the requirement of all the research activities and CPCSEA protocol.
The Animal House at DIPSAR is an independent facility housed
in a campus. It also has the service areas like records office, washing and
autoclaving area, raw material room for animal feed, feed preparation room,
a biochemistry laboratory for studying biochemical markers to check the purity
of the animal strains, a routine microbiology laboratory, and a histology facility.
The experimental modules have been placed at the proximal end of the animal
area while the supply and breeding modules are placed at the far end. In order
to facilitate unidirectional movement of clean and dirty material, the animal
area comprises of a central clean corridor, with the dirty corridor located
on either side of the rooms at first floor and on ground floor.
The veterinarian staff has been taken on contract basis. One PhD scholar from veterinary background is maintaining animal house with the assistance
of Pharmacologist from AIIMS.
O u r a n i m a l h o u s e s u p p l i e s.rats/mice/rabbits to other colleges/research Institutes approved by CPCSEA.
Biochemical and genetic parameters are measured at definite
intervals to assess the authenticity of these animals.The experienced and helpful
technical staff of the Animal House assist the research workers in their animal
experiments, and are responsible for proper maintenance of this key facility
of the Centre.
