Billing and Recharge Rates
The following are current rates for services provided for Teaching & Research Animal Care Services (TRACS) and Campus Veterinary Services (CVS). These rates have been approved by the UC Davis Rates Committee. Rates are subject to change, but customers will be notified prior to implementation of new rates.
Rates for TRACS – Husbandry Services
TRACS husbandry services for established per diem rates include daily health checks of animals, monitoring of feed and water intake, cage/pen conditions, required cage change and husbandry as stated in the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, and room environmental monitoring. Documentation of this is done 365 days per year and is available for review at the animal housing room level. TRACS recently established the following per diem rates based on cost recovery, following NIH guidelines, and approval from the campus Budget and Institutional Analysis (BIA) office. Per the NIH guidelines, assignment of operating expenses to each animal species was based on personnel, supplies, training, and depreciation. New rates include consolidation of rates to streamline and simplify the cost projections for budget development. Moving forward, TRACS rates will be reviewed and revised annually. Investigators should consider including a 3% annual increase in rates when developing budgets for proposals.
