Here’s a series of links to animal care records from animals housed at the Oregon National Primate Research Center. Note: animals are listed by number because numbers are easier to track than names. Many of our animals also have names, often given by our animal care staff. However for record keeping reasons, just like in a human hospital, numbers are used for accuracy.

What are they?
Animal care records are sort of like your chart at the doctor’s office. Like human health records, these records track an animal’s health. They list medications that were given, injuries that occurred (animals are frequently involved in rough play and sometimes they fight) and treatments. As you will see for many animals, their records can be quite lengthy. Why? Because our animals receive daily health checks, any illness is immediately reported and treatments occur right away.
What do they show?
Animal records are used to track animals overall health. A detailed animal care history for each of our animals allows us to provide better veterinary care. Detailed animal care records may also be needed if an animal is involved in a research project as an animal’s overall health can play an important role in research results. |
