Bayer obtains its laboratory animals almost exclusively from qualified breeders who are authorized specifically by the relevant authorities to breed laboratory animals.

The farms are also monitored continuously by the relevant veterinary authorities.

Only in the following exceptional cases does Bayer depart from this tried-and-tested procedure:
