-A Work Order with the requested cage card numbers to be euthanized must be submitted along with the room number the cages are in. This form is found on LAR’s website under FORMS at -In the room the cages to be euthanized must have “SAC” written on the LAR cage card -Once the appropriate cages are terminated by LAR the per diem charges and cage card census will be stopped by LAR in the system by the Business Office and retained for six months.

4. Euthanasia will NOT occur if
Cannot find cage
Cage card number in work order does not have a matching physical card with “SAC” written on the card
Note: “Other markings” on the card are unacceptable. This is to prevent confusion between LAR and the lab due to a lack of a standard signal for termination.
Cage does not have a LAR cage card
If the cage does not have a cage card due to short time to genotyping time frame or other issue, a Cage Card Request must be submitted before a Work Order for termination can be submitted.
LAR will communicate any discontinuity between physical cards and Work Order. The requestor will be notified via Work Order and further instructions will be requested.

Cage Card Requests asking for cage cards in a previous billing cycle that has closed will be recharged for the additional incurred time.

This includes when Labs do not request that their animals are transferred in time and must be reminded to do so.
