The storage shed which used to house bags of all purpose sweet feed and deer pellets has spilled feed on the floor. There is evidence of mice in the form of mouse droppings on the floor of the shed. The bobcat shelter has a storage area attached to it. The facility is keeping bird feed in this area and it is spilled on the floor. During the inspection the inspector had a mouse run across her foot in this storage area. These open bags of food draw rodents into the area. The bobcat food is thawed in a refrigerator in the storage area where the bobcats are housed. There is a large amount of dried chicken juice on the rungs of the refrigerator shelves and the bottom of the refrigerator. There is an odor coming from the refrigerator. Supplies of food and bedding shall be stored in facilities which adequately protect such supplies against deterioration, molding, or contamination by vermin. Refrigeration shall be provided for supplies of perishable food. Any open bags of food must be kept in a container with a lid to prevent infestation and contamination by mice and spilled feed must be cleaned up so that it does not attract rodents. The refrigerator where the meat is thawed must be cleaned regularily to eliminate the possibility of contamination of the food and to reduce odor and disease hazards.
