Farm Animals Stream
The training modules in this stream are relevant to investigators, research staff, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students who use farm animals (beef and dairy cattle, sheep and goats, swine, poultry, horses, and farmed wildlife).
Based on the CCAC guidelines on: the care and use of farm animals in research, teaching and testing (2009), these modules are intended as a resource for:
- institutions and animal care committees, to help them ensure that their animal personnel meet the theoretical training requirements of their training program
- teachers, who may use them to introduce the topic of ethical care and use of farm animals in their courses
The farm animals stream includes modules on the following species and housing systems:
