USDA Animal Care Is Correcting Technical Issues Involving Its Searchable Database

 

 

The Animal Care Information System (ACIS) is the powerful, searchable database created by USDA Animal Care that provides useful information about individuals/facilities regulated under the Animal Welfare Act. This information – including animal inventories, inspection report citations and the number of animals used in medical research – is accessible to one and all via the Animal Care website and is provided in multiple formats to meet peoples’ individual needs as they create their own searches.

 

At the moment, however, ACIS is not performing optimally. We are faced with technical challenges that are affecting not only the speed with which users can retrieve information from ACIS but also the accuracy and consistency of some of that information. Our technical team is aware of the problems and is working to resolve the issues. We please ask for your patience in this matter.

 

ACIS has been a valuable resource to thousands of people since its creation in 2011. We will do all we can to correct the current technical issues so that we can once again provide you with accurate, timely information.

 

 

At USDA Animal Care, ensuring the welfare of the animals we regulate is at the heart of everything we do.
