The use of animals is defined as any activity involving vertebrate animals in which the natural lifestyle or movements of the animals is materially altered. Use of animal carcasses, tissues, and fluids obtained specifically for research, testing, or teaching purposes are subject to review according to applicable regulations and may be determined to be “use of animals.”

Personnel who work with animals or are at risk from animal exposure must be enrolled in the  Occupational Health Program and informed of the risks associated with the animal exposure.

Research Compliance supports the Texas A&M University-Kingsville Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), through which all faculty, staff, and students using animals, regardless of location or funding, must obtain approval before activities begin.
