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 German and English for the mouse/rat species, the content of which is comparable to the former FELASA B courses.
These courses are certified by GV-SOLAS and accepted by the ATF with 19 hours.
