Construction of primary enclosures *** On September 8, 2014, eight (8) non-human primates were shipped in primary transport enclosures constructed in a manner that waste products were able to leak from the enclosure while in transit. Primary transport enclosures should be leak-proof to prevent urine and feces from seeping outside of the enclosure and to prevent the animals from being excessively soiled. Transport enclosures that prevent the leakage of bodily fluids must be used for all future animal transport to keep the animals as clean and dry as possible while in transit. Correction: The IACUC conducted a review. The registrant has purchased and redesign d transport cages to meet the primary enclosure standards outlined in section 3.87 (a)(10). This item has been corrected.
