France’s National Centre for Scientific Research confirmed a €31-million expansion of a primate-breeding facility in Rousset. The facility is planned to house 1,800 non-human primates, mostly Macaca fascicularis. The expansion is intended to support biomedical research by producing 250–300 animals per year. Production is scheduled to begin in 2032. The plan centers on scaling primate breeding capacity to meet research demand over time. The facility expansion reflects a long-term commitment to supplying non-human primates for biomedical studies.
"In February, France's National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) confirmed that it would be proceeding with a €31-million (US$36 million) expansion of a primate-breeding facility in Rousset."
"The aim is to house 1,800 non-human primates (mostly Macaca fascicularis) and to produce 250-300 animals a year for biomedical research from 2032."
