The pharmaceutical testing company said it plans to close two isolator facilities in Indianapolis and consolidate them with existing facilities in the United States.
A federal judge issued an emergency order late last month imposing a series of restrictions on the facility operated by Indianapolis-based Envigo after regulators said the site was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of beagle puppies.
Repeated federal inspections since Envigo acquired the facility have resulted in dozens of violations, including findings that dogs had received inadequate medical care and insufficient food, were housed in filthy conditions, and some had been euthanized without first receiving anesthesia.
