Housing Per Diem and Service Rates
All animal housing and pen sizes must meet federal and
university regulations relative to size, design and construction.
VMP has the required pens to meet requirements for conventional and
Biohazard Level 2 research for most species.
VMP will work with investigators to meet housing requirements
for special research applications whenever possible. VMP primarily
houses horses, cattle, swine, sheep, and goats. However, limited
facilities are also available to house deer, coyotes, and dogs.
Investigators that are not in the TAMU System
should contact Dr. Clay Ashley at 979-845-6488 or by email at CAshley@cvm.tamu.edu for
non-TAMUS per diem and service rates.
Please contact VMP for future Housing and Surgery
estimates
Investigators should expect a minimum 5% annual increase when
writing future grant proposals
