How many cage wash staff are needed to support an animal facility with a given census?  What equipment upgrades and operational changes were perceived to most improve injury rates, staff retention, and washing capacity to support expanding institutional rodent census? Nirah Shomer and Bruce Kennedy present survey results and metrics on the current state of cage wash facilities including data on staffing numbers and models, workload, types and numbers of washing equipment, the biggest bottlenecks and barriers to smooth operations, and efficiency-minded upgrade and renovation trends from the last five years. Don’t miss this opportunity to benchmark your cagewash operations against industry leaders.
