Activities involving laboratory animals
You need a licence from the Board of Agriculture both for using and for breeding laboratory animals. Before the animal experiment begins, an ethical committee must approve it.
There are also rules that say that facilities in which laboratory animals are kept must be approved by the Board of Agriculture. When new facilities are built or existing ones are rebuilt, they need to be approved before they are put to use. This also applies in case you change your facilities in any way.
