Several enclosures used to transport birds did not have projecting rims. Several Transport enclosures housing a total of 51 Quail did not contain projecting rims. A lack of projecting rims on primary transport enclosures can allow for inadequate ventilation particularly when the cages are stacked when placed on the cart to move between the auction floor and holding area. Correct by 9/30/2023 by ensuring that all primary transport enclosures contain projecting rims or other devices on the exterior walls to prevent obstruction of the ventilation. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the Licensee. This inspection was conducted in Mount Hope, Ohio.
