To be used on breeding, weaning, separating, replacement cards, etc:

• Pull a blank cage card from the cage card box.  There are two formats.  One is for general animal needs.  The second one is for breeding animals with litters.  You may use either format depending on your needs.
• Open the Barcode Census Notebook for the animal room.  Locate the tab with the correct PI, budget and protocol combination.
• Peel off first label and place on the area designated on the blank cage card.

• Match the barcode number on the label to the corresponding worksheet.  Clearly write the activation date on the matching barcode number and initial next to it.

• Place the Cage Card with the Label on the animal cage.
