Scanning Dates



Cage cards of animals on census are scanned to tabulate the census on Tuesdays and Fridays. Cage cards are also scanned for newly-arrived animals on the date of their arrival, for weaned animals on the date of weaning, and on the date when any animal is transferred by DAR between animal research facilities. Cages that are not present in an animal research facility during the census scan (e.g., when in a laboratory) remain on the census until two scans are missed.



Scanning is permanently halted and accounting on the census ceases when cage cards from depopulated enclosures are given to the facility supervisor for scan-out.
