*** Protocol 256: A procedure was performed on a species not specified in the approved animal use protocol. Any changes to a protocol must be reviewed and approved by the IACUC prior to conducting any activity associated with the change. An IACUC review of protocol changes is to ensure that animals do not experience unnecessary pain and distress and to verify that personnel are adequately trained to handle and conduct procedures on a particular specied. The IACUC must amend the protocol to include goats as a species and/or implement appropriate procedures to ensure protocol changes are reviewed and approved by the IACUC for all protocol deviations involving the use of animals. Correct by May 30, 2014. NOTE: The goat did not experience any pain or distress as it was a terminal procedure performed under anesthesia.
