How do you decide whether to buy laboratory rodents from a commercial vendor or to produce them with an in-house breeding colony? The answer isn't always clear cut and is dependent on your lab's specific situation.
In a space-constrained environment, balancing breeding cages versus experimental cages can be a challenge. In addition, there are many other factors that must be considered, including animal welfare, genetic and health quality, timelines, and finances.
Our panel of experts will discuss the critical factors to consider when deciding between in-house production and purchasing from a commercial vendor.
