Federal regulators have cited the University of Kansas Medical Center for violations in its animal research facilities, one that led to the death of a goat.

The USDA cited the medical center for inadequate veterinary care, improper reporting and improper supervision of experimentation.

The citation stemmed from an inspection in January.

A medical center spokeswoman says the citation for the goat’s death is being appealed and the USDA has not indicated it will conduct further investigations.

The USDA says some citations are corrected quickly and do not result in more extensive investigations. The agriculture department is conducting another inspection of possible failure to provide adequate veterinary care and adequate laboratory oversight.

The medical center says that investigation involves four relatively minor issues.
