While reviewing the animal census on 03/24/22, the IACUC noticed that 2 pigs were ordered for use under a protocol that expired on 03/01/2022. The IACUC further discovered that the principal investigator performed experimental procedures on one of the pigs on 03/22/2022. The other pig had not been used under the expired protocol and was later transferred to another IACUC approved protocol. Proposed activities and proposed significant changes in ongoing activities that have been approved by the IACUC may be subject to further appropriate review and approval by officials of the research facility. However, those officials may not approve an activity involving the care and use of animals if it has not been approved by the IACUC. This was corrected prior to the inspection. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the facility representatives. Additional Inspectors: GLORIA MCFADDEN, VETERINARY MEDICAL OFFICER n
