Multiple enclosures in both buildings had feces in the self-feeders especially in the enclosures where feces had accumulated around the feeder and the automatic water valves (See section 3.31(a)(1)). A few of the self-feeders had caked food in the corners of the trough. The self-feeders in wooden enclosures in both buildings are screwed into the wall of the enclosure between the two automatic water valves. These feeders are not being removed and sanitized at least once every two weeks. Debris and feces is accumulating on the rims and lower portions of the feeders. Ineffective cleaning and sanitation exposes the animals to disease hazards such as bacterial, fungal and viral diseases. Food receptacles must be kept clean and sanitized as often as necessary and at least once every 2 weeks. Correct by keeping the self-feeders clean and sanitizing the self-feeder at least once every 2 weeks. Correct by June 28, 2016.
