Condition and site. The food storage area is cluttered with various items (unused husbandry equipment such as heat lamps, cabinets, and lumber). There is an accumulation of straw bedding, dust, dirt and/or debris on the unused items and on the floor around the feed bags. There is also an open bag of feed next to the unopened feed bags on the pallet that is not in a sealed container. This can attract pests and provide a place for rodents to nest and breed. The licensee must ensure areas used for storing animal food or bedding must be free of any accumulation of trash, waste material, junk and other discarded materials. Animal areas inside of housing facilities must be kept neat and free of clutter, including equipment, furniture, and stored material, but may contain materials actually used and necessary for cleaning the area, and fixtures or equipment necessary for proper husbandry practices.
