Animal Care Program
The Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES) Animal Care Program facilitates the use of animals in research, teaching, and demonstration at Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences and Rutgers NJAES Cooperative Extension while assuring compliance with applicable state and federal regulations. The program cares for a wide variety of animals, including sheep, goats, pigs, cattle, horses, and occasionally chickens, lizards, and fish. The staff and facilities operate as a 'hybrid' of production farm, research facility, and teaching operation.
