Animal housing & husbandry

Per diems and current rates

How per diems are determined

For each species, housing per diems are based on an analysis of the costs attributable to caring for that species. The primary cost is labor, but all other costs such as feed, bedding, cleaning supplies, equipment, service contracts, etc. are included in the calculation.

Per diems are adjusted annually based on an updated analysis of incurred costs. For grant planning, estimate a 5% increase each year.
