Compatibility ***On September 8, 2014, two (2) non-human primates were shipped in a double compartment transport enclosure with no divider. The animals arrived with minor wounds and blood was present in the transport enclosure. There was no paperwork indicating the breeding or pairing status of these animals. Only one non-human primate should be shipped in a single transport enclosure to prevent possible fighting or injury to the animals while in transit. Measures must be taken to ensure that only one non-human primate is present per transport enclosure, except under certain provisions, for the overall health and safety of the animal. Correction: The IACUC conducted a review. New double compartment enclosures have been purchased and new transportation policies have been put in place. This item has been corrected. The exit briefing was conducted with the facility representatives. This is an electronic version of the inspection report dated 11 September 2015. This inspection report is amended to add the following header for both NCIs: "PRIMARY ENCLOSURES USED TO TRANSPORT NONHUMAN PRIMATES"
