ANIMAL RESEARCH
All animal research is conducted under the auspices of the University. All research and teaching programmes involving animals and taking place at Stellenbosch University and satellite sites, have to be submitted to the Research Ethics Committee: Animal Care and Use for investigation and approval.
The Faculty makes use of small mammals and other small animals for educational and research puposes. These animals are managed by a qualified and registered animal technician, a joint appointment by the Faculties of Science, AgriSciences, and Medicine and Health Sciences. The Faculty of Science’s small mammals (rabbits, rats and mice) are kept in an annex to the Mike de Vries building and amphibians are kept in the Natural Sciences building. The Animal Facility is managed by the Department of Physiological Sciences.
