At the time of inspection, an investigator was conducting studies involving the administration of fluid rewards (juice). The juice is supplied to animals on study through a sipper connected to a series of plastic tubes. Irregular light brown discoloration can be seen inside the tubing where two lengths are connected to one another, and small areas of white patchy discoloration can be seen on the interior of the tube in other areas. These areas of discoloration could be contaminants or microbial growth which may be hazardous to the animals. Water receptacles must be kept clean and sanitized as often as necessary to keep them clean and free from contamination. To be corrected by March 12th, 2024. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with facility representatives. Additional Inspectors: Tonya Hadjis, Supervisory Animal Care Specialist n
