Good afternoon, Today I euthanized 1 female in trio breeder cage #15727 (4A) per veterinary recommendation. She was in very poor shape and not doing well. The other female in the cage is doing well; however she does have a lump on dorsal abdomen on her right side. We will continue to watch it at this time. I also euthanized a female in trio breeder cage #15600 (1B) per veterinary reccomendation. She was also in very poor shape. There was 1 pup from her, that seems to have been claimed by the other mother in the cage, that mother has 2 pups of her own as well. We will continue to monitor the situation. There were 3 other pups, that were deceased. Lastly, wanted to remind you that there are 2 littlers due to be weaned today. Thank you, [cid:3fa55a07-a4ef-46b9-bc5b-240cf0d0974d] Jesse Baumann-Berg, LVT, LAT IACP Tech III University of Nebraska–Lincoln Research Resp-Inst Animal Care Prog 402-472-5742

A32C Sun

Good Moring, I wanted to let you know that some of your special diets are getting a little low. Also, I wanted to mention that lab members are to be sure to clean up after themselves after using the lab in A32C. Which includes not leaving items on the counter and wiping it down after use. Making sure cabinet doors and drawers are closed. Even picking up items left on the floor. Thank you, [cid:075ac5f3-4f95-4009-839c-c31a9826483b] Jesse Baumann-Berg, LVT, LAT IACP Tech III University of Nebraska–Lincoln Research Resp-Inst Animal Care Prog 402-472-5742

Re: Moving pig from G3 to G4 room
by Hiep Vu 30 Jan '26

30 Jan '26

Hello Jaydyn we need your help to move one pig from G3 to G4 on Feb 3. Since one pig in G3 has crypt, pig #2, we will not more it. We can move any of the remaining (#4, 10, 14 and 18) to G4. I prefer to move pig #10. However, it appears significantly smaller than the other, then we move pigs #18. Please let me know if you have any question.

Are they the same weight as any other pig in the group? If one of them looks healthier and matches the weight of another pig, you can bring it to group G4. I would prefer ID 10 first, then ID 18. If they appear smaller than the other pigs, you can select either ID 4 or ID 14 instead. Thank you so much. Hung

Fw: Cage Change frequency with inotiv bedding

Hi Anna & Team, Katelin did tell me that her inbox would be monitored while she is out. However, I figured I would still get this passed along incase it gets missed in her email. Please let me know if there is anything else that I can help with regarding cage change frequency with our bedding.

This file breaks down the different bedding types with ammonia values. The ones with lower ammonia values at the cage change intervals can be a biomarker to evaluate cage change times, but other factors can influence the specific intervals at a facility. If your team has any questions regarding this file or anything that this file does not cover, please let me know and I would be happy to get a call set up with our in house subject matter expert.

This seems to be a "hot topic" in a sense currently, as I have had a few universities looking into a similar pilot study with various types of beddings. This is a great variable to explore, as it can help lighten the technician's workload, reduce animal disturbance, and provide cost savings if you are going through less bedding. I will ask internally if we have anything on 7089C specifically, as that is one bedding that I have not worked on something like this with yet. I just met with another university last week that is working on a pilot study with our diamond dry, and 3 types of our corncob bedding, but their study will not be completed for another month to share any of that data. I am sending a message over to our scientist that is the subject matter expert on our bedding and enrichment products, as she would be the one to know if Inotiv or anyone else has some information that we can provide to assist. She is, however, out of office until the end of the week, so I likely will not hear back from her until next week. Once I do hear back, I will let you know what I am able to find out.

DO NOT CLICK on links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Good afternoon, My colleges and I are looking into trying out a pilot study where we would increase cage changes from changing cages once every 14 days to 21 days or more extending the cage change frequency. I wanted to reach out to you in advance to see if you knew of any data that supported longer intervals for cage changes with your 7089C bedding. I know that the cage density and caging type will be a factor as well, and we will take into account. I have just started this search and found a forum on AALAS that suggested reaching out to the bedding vendor to see if they had any information already. If you are not the one to contact or don't know of anything out there just let me know! Looking forward to hearing from you!

The boxes are ready for pickup at the most convenient time for your staff. Linda will be available to meet the car at the loading dock of Beadle to hand off the cages.
