What is the required temperature range for each room where an animal other than livestock is treated or housed?

The required temperature range for each room where an animal other than livestock is treated or housed is 65°F to 90°F. This range is important to ensure the comfort and health of companion animals, as they are sensitive to both extreme heat and cold.

Keeping the temperature within this specified range helps to prevent stress and potential health issues in animals. For example, temperatures that are too low can lead to hypothermia, while excessively high temperatures can cause heat stress or heat stroke.

This regulation reflects the understanding of animal welfare standards and is derived from the need to maintain a controlled environment that supports the physiological well-being of animals being treated or housed. Other ranges may be appropriate for certain situations or specific types of animal care, but they do not address the comprehensive needs for comfort and safety in the same way that the specified 65°F to 90°F does.
