ONPRC: A Clean Bill of Health
I just issued a press release that says a lot about the good people who work at OHSU’s primate center.
During an inspection last week, the USDA reviewed the center over a period of 2 days and found no noncompliant items.
See below:
That’s a pretty significant thing given the fact these these inspections are unannounced and very comprehensive.
As for our animal housing facilities themselves, I just shot some video of our outdoor corrals yesterday. As you can see – the animals (even our snow monkeys) seem to enjoy the sunny weather we’ve been having as of late.
If you want more info on the center, here are a few recent breakthroughs:
