Symposium on Social Housing of Laboratory Animals will be held October 5-6, 2014, in Denver, CO on the University of Colorado Denver, Anschutz Medical campus. This symposium will bring together experts in animal behavior and welfare to address common issues in trying to achieve the mandate for social housing for social species. The first day will focus on nonhuman primates and the second on ruminants, rabbits, rodents and pigs. Participants will be encouraged to discuss special issues they are facing at their institutions.
