UNL animal experiments
monitored Iby government
If you're in "the Dull Hair Department"...
there's a special way out.
Tlie use of live and preserved animals in
experiments at UNL is monitored by a university-wide
committee that reports to the
federal government, according to a life
Sciences professor..
Royce Ballinger, vice-director of the
School of Life Sciences, said the com
mittee, which contains members from all
parts of the university, deals with animal
use in all UNL laboratores.
"Basically , the committee . is set up for
the monitoring of the facilities and care
that the animals receive and the conditions
they are treated under," Ballinger said.
He said the committee examines lab
oratories used for experiments and then re
ports to the federal government.
live animals used in experiments are
obtained in several ways, Ballinger ex
plained. Those who use live animals for a great
percent of their experiments usually breed
their own specimens, he said.
Ballinger said those who experiment
with live animals periodically are able to
obtain animals from various biological
supply companies set up especially for this
purpose.
Still others, according to Ballinger,
capture their specimens ftom nature.
When the animals are no longer needed
for experimentation, Ballinger explained,
there is a university policy which requires
that ail animals be incinerated after use.
Ballinger added that there are "two full
time people who tajce care of this," and
that they dispose of the animals properly.
There are also a number of experiments
done in the Life Sciences Dept. that in
volve the use of preserved animals, he said.
The most common experiments involve dis
secting specimens'.
As with live animals, there is more than
one way to obtain animals for experi
mentation, Ballinger said;
The most common method of obtaining
preserved animals is through biological
supply companies. Iri some cases, investi
gators doing original experiments will use
their own preserved specimens.
Many of these animals are destroyed in
the same way as the live animals-through
incineration. However, Ballinger said some
are saved for research purposes and others
are eventually preserved permanently in
museums and other educational settings.
Ballinger said in most cases "lab
schedules for each class will 1 indicate
whether or not living material is used." He
said all students have the opportunity to
know ahead of time what experiments will
be conducted in various classes,
Ballinger said he knew of no time when
a student complained of being asked to do
something he felt he should not be requir
ed to do. In fact, he said, "most students
look forward to experiences such as this
when entering biology classes,"
