ANIMAL RESOURCE IMPROVEMENT

本申请所要求的资金将用于购买和 在动物房内安装动物饮用水分配系统 没有动物饮用水分配系统。学院 牙科动物护理机构和凯西眼科研究所动物护理 设施没有动物饮用水分配系统。 医疗 研究大楼中央动物护理设施有一个旧的供水系统 在许多动物房;然而，这个旧系统的设计和安装， 大学员工。 医学研究大楼的旧水 系统设计不当，动物房中存在“死端”水管 并且不能用干净的高压水冲洗系统。 从历史上看，许多旧的医疗中心是在没有 设计中包含的动物饮用水分配系统， 建设随着新材料和新技术的发展，自动动物 供水系统开始发展成为一种安全有效的方法， 为研究动物提供饮用水。此外，水可以 适当的过滤和消毒，以防止疾病的传播， 规范水质。 新的自动供水系统不 仅提供动物饮用水的质量控制， 系统中的水泄漏;但是，它们节省了劳动力成本并节省了水 瓶子的费用 本补助金提案中要求的资金将取代医疗补助金。 研究大楼中央动物设施的旧供水系统和 在俄勒冈州的两个健康科学中心安装动物饮用水系统 目前没有动物饮用水的大学动物设施 分销系统

The funds requested in this application will be to used to purchase and install animal drinking water distribution systems in the animal rooms that have no animal drinking water distribution system. The School of Dentistry Animal Care Facility and the Casey Eye Institute Animal Care Facility have no animal drinking water distribution system. The Medical Research Building Central Animal Care Facility has an old watering system in many animal rooms; however, this old system was designed and installed by university employees. The Medical Research Building's old watering system was improperly designed with "dead end" water lines in animal rooms and no ability to flush the system with clean high pressure water. Historically, many older medical centers were constructed without an animal drinking water distribution systems included in the design and construction. As new materials and technology developed, automatic animal watering systems began to evolve as a safe and effective method of delivering drinking water to research animals. In addition, the water can properly filtered and sanitized to prevent the spread of disease and standardize the water quality. The new automatic watering systems not only provide quality control of the animal drinking water, give warnings of water leaks in the system; but, they save labor costs and save water bottle expense. The funds requested in this grant proposal would replace the Medical Research Building Central Animal Facility's old watering system and install animal drinking water systems in two Oregon Health Sciences University animal facilities that presently have no animal drinking water distribution system.
