The objective of cost management in the animal house is to make efficient use of resources and to regulate the activity of the user. Regular charging of users keeps them aware of their responsibility both ethically and financially. Forward budgetary control is encouraged and regulation of the work load achieved through planned requirements helps to reduce animal wastage.
