Primary References

In the primary reference material for the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, the annotated citations are mostly books and conference proceedings, with the exception of legislation, and cover 1985 to December 1998.

While there has been an attempt to cross-reference citations that can appropriately fit into more than one category, please search related categories for the desired information. For example, a book on rodent surgery may be found in "Rodents and Rabbits" and/or "Surgery". It may also be found in "General Laboratory Animal Care and Use" if a book contains information about several species including a chapter on rodent medicine.

Animal Welfare Act as Amended (7 U.S.Code, 2131-2156)
The complete Animal Welfare Act including all amendments following the 1966 enactment.

Public Law 89-544 Act of August 24, 1966
Referred to as The Animal Welfare Act although that title is not mentioned within the law. It authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to regulate transport, sale, and handling of dogs, cats, nonhuman primates, guinea pigs, hamsters, and rabbits intended to be used in research or "for other purposes". It requires licensing and inspection of dog and cat dealers and humane handling at auction sales.

Public Law 91-579 Animal Welfare Act of 1970
Expands the list of animals covered by the Act to include all warm-blooded animals determined by the Secretary of Agriculture as being used or intended for use in experimentation or exhibition except horses not used in research and farm animals used in production-related studies. Exhibitors are incorporated into the act and research facilities are defined. Retail pet stores, state and county fairs, rodeos, purebred dog and cat shows, and agricultural exhibitions are exempt from the act. The Secretary is directed to develop regulations regarding record keeping and humane care and treatment of animals in or during commerce, exhibition, experimentation, and transport. There is also mention of inspections, and appropriate anesthetics, analgesics, and tranquilizers. There are further regulations on dog and cat commerce.

Public Law 94-279 Animal Welfare Act Amendments of 1976
Focuses on animal transport and commerce. Health certification prior to transport of sale is required and must be performed by a veterinarian. Licenses, method of payment, and penalties for violations are discussed. This amendment also introduces and defines "animal fighting ventures" to the Act. Animals used in hunting waterfowl, foxes, etc. are exempt. It is illegal to exhibit or transport via interstate or foreign commerce animals used in fighting ventures such as dogs or roosters.

Public Law 99-198 Food Security Act of 1985, Subtitle F - Animal Welfare
Also called "The Improved Laboratory Standards Act", this section clarifies what is meant by "humane care" by mentioning specifics such as sanitation, housing, and ventilation. It directs the Secretary of Agriculture to establish regulations to provide exercise for dogs and an adequate physical environment to promote the psychological well-being of nonhuman primates. It specifies that pain and distress must be minimized in experimental procedures and that alternatives to such procedures be considered by the principle investigator. It also defines practices that are considered to be painful. No animal can be used in more than one major operative experiment with recovery (exceptions are listed). The establishment of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) is introduced with a description of its roles, composition, and responsibilities to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).

Code of Federal Regulations, Title 9, Chapter 1, Subchapter A - Animal Welfare
Commonly called "9CFR", the regulations developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture describe how the Act and Amendments must be implemented. The Definitions section describes exactly what is meant by terms used in the legislation. "Animal", for example, specifically excludes rats of the genus Rattus and mice of the genus Mus as well as birds used in research. The Regulations section includes subparts for licensing, registration, research facilities, attending veterinarians and adequate veterinary care, stolen animals, records, compliance with standards and holding periods, and miscellaneous topics such as confiscation and destruction of animalsand access and inspection of records and property. The bulk of the 9CFR subchapter is the third section which provides standards for specific species or groups of species. Included are sections for cats and dogs, guinea pigs and hamsters, rabbits, nonhuman primates, marine mammals, and the general category of "other warm-blooded animals". Standards include those for facilities and operations, health and husbandry systems, and transportation. The final section sets forth the Rules of Practice applicable to adjudicating administrative proceedings under Section 19 of the Animal Welfare Act. This is the 1994 version of the Code of Federal Regulations.
