Animal Care Facility (ACF)

An Animal Care Facility (ACF) is a dedicated space where animals are housed, cared for, and sometimes treated, often in the context of research, shelter, or rehabilitation. It provides a safe environment with proper shelter, nutrition, and health management to ensure animals' well-being. ACFs are staffed by trained personnel who monitor animal health, prevent disease, and maintain ethical standards. They support the responsible handling of animals, whether for scientific research, rescue, or temporary housing, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and promoting humane treatment.
