Pricing and availability of aged animals from the aging inventory is available on request. If the requested aged animals are not available from our aging inventory, or require three or more months of maintenance prior to shipment, Harlan will age a reserved cohort of animals to accommodate for anticipated loss from natural attrition.
Pricing for client-reserved aging cohorts will be developed based on the requirements of the project. Prior to initialization of an aging project, Harlan will confirm client expectations, the project work scope, and animal pricing with an agreement of understanding.
