Which items are included in GLP Animal Care SOPs?

• A. Pest control procedures and documentation
• B. Housing, feeding, handling, ID and care of animals
• C. Quarantine or isolation and health status evaluation of new animals prior to use
• D. Food and water analysis every 6 months and contaminant monitoring

Answer: (B)

GLP Animal Care SOPs define how animals are housed, fed, handled, identified, and cared for to ensure welfare and reliable study results. This everyday framework ensures consistent living conditions and minimizes variables that could affect data. While pest control, quarantine or health screening of new animals, and regular feed-and-water testing are important for overall compliance and animal health, they belong to other areas: pest control is facility management, quarantine/health evaluation is typically veterinary health surveillance, and contaminant testing is part of QA/analytical monitoring rather than daily animal care. So, the items included are housing, feeding, handling, identification, and care of the animals.
