Subject: Animal Care Costs

We are reevaluating our animal care costs in view of contracting use of
our
animal facilities to nearby commercial firms.  Is there a source where I
can
find the average costs of animal care nationally?  Are there liability
concerns that others have had experience with?

Thanks much for your feedback!
