Animal Care's Research Manual Table of Contents

PLEASE READ: This electronic version is almost complete. All the major documents are here, but a few referenced documents are missing. These must be scanned in one-by-one. Some, especially the references to the Animal Welfare Act, Regulations, Standards, and Policy can be obtained from our web site at www.aphis.usda.gov/ac/publications.html. We hope to have it 100% complete within the next few weeks as time becomes available. When finished, there will be links pointing to referenced information.
