USDA inspectors again find violations at UW-Madison animal research labs

Federal investigators once again found violations at UW-Madison?s animal research facilities during another unannounced inspection earlier this week.

The inspectors from the United States Department of Agriculture, however, didn?t find as many problems as they did during a surprise visit to campus in December.

Eric Sandgren, who is charged with overseeing animal research at UW-Madison as director of the Research Animal Resources Center, said nothing “major” was found. But, he added, “at the same time I?m sick and tired of all these nickel and dime things. There is no excuse for these violations to continue.”
