Upon IACUC investigation of the injured pig incident, they determined that the laboratory staff did not provide the analgesia to pigs as prescribed by the protocol. According to the laboratory technician, recovery from anesthesia was better for pigs without the use on analgesia. The Principal Investigator had not submitted an amendment to the IACUC for this change in procedures and did not consult the Veterinary Staff. Proposed activities and proposed significant changes in ongoing activities that have been approved by the IACUC may be subject to further review and approval. Any changes in activity that involves the care and use of animals must be approved by the IACUC. This has been corrected by the IACUC through a corrective action and retraining of laboratory personnel.
