Due to a miscommunication, an animal caretaker was not present from March 30-31, 2024 to provide the baboons their daily ration of the primate biscuits. The enrichment technician provided the required food enrichment for the animals as scheduled, which included apples, broccoli, carrots, and peanuts. All animals had access to water from a lixit. On April 1, 2024, the baboons were examined by a Veterinary Resources clinical veterinarian, and no abnormalities were noted. Nonhuman primates must be fed at least once each day except as otherwise might be required to provide adequate veterinary care. Infant and juvenile nonhuman primates must be fed as often as necessary in accordance with generally accepted professional and husbandry practices and nutritional standards, based upon the animals' age and condition. Corrected before the time of inspection through a corrective action plan. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with facility representatives. The inspection was conducted from April 10-15, 2024. Additional Inspectors: GLORIA MCFADDEN, VETERINARY MEDICAL OFFICER n
