Abstract
Certified laboratory animals in terms of health and genetic conditions are essential for
obtaining reproducible and universal experimental results. In laboratory animal
facilities, animals are housed under protective sanitary barriers designed to exclude
and prevent the entry of infectious and microbial agents, thus ensuring not only an
adequate and defined sanitary standard, but also animal welfare. Environment
monitoring of an animal facility aims to assess the effiectiveness of adopted
procedures for cleaning and disinfecting, air system quality and good management
practices. In this work, petri dishes of nutrient agar were used, exposed in different
locations in the room, and the results presented as “colony forming units - CFU after
the exposure period, were used to validate and certify the processes used in the
evaluated area. Environmental monitoring is extremely important in animal facilities
as it is part of a comprehensive monitoring program and is useful for alerting
professionals about the need to improve procedures and revise Standard Operating
Procedures (SOPs). All of these elements contribute to produce quality animals that
meet the needs of biomedical research and regulatory agencies.
