For each animal shipment a Request for Animal Purchase/Housing form must be submitted. The request form is available in the Office of Animal Resources (OAR) or you may contact the Office of Animal Resources and have one e-mailed. If multiple shipments from the same source are expected please submit a request for each shipment. Fill out the form completely including MoCode, PS account number and an authorized signature. Authorization covers animal purchase, animal housing per diems, and associated service charges. MoCode provided will be charged for all costs unless a change is authorized in writing.

You can fax the order to OAR (884-4345) or drop it off at 1720 East Campus Loop. A current approved MU ACUC protocol number must be present on every Request for Animal Purchase/Housing before animals can be ordered. All animal orders and housing requests must be turned into the Office of Animal Resources office by 4pm on Wednesday, for animals to be delivered the following week pending availability from the vendor and available space in the animal quarters. Animal orders recieved after 4:00 pm on Thursday will not be processed until the next week due to vendor shipping deadlines.
