For scientific work with animals (caring for and killing animals, performing procedures on animals; EU functions A, C, D), within the EU, but also in non-EU countries, proof of expertise in laboratory animal science in theory and practice is required.
For this purpose, the TiHo offers courses in English for the species mouse and rat, which content is equivalent to the former FELASA-B courses.
These courses are certified by GV-SOLAS and accepted by the ATF with 39 hours.
