A primary transport enclosure used to transport animals did not have projecting rims. A primary transport enclosure housing a pig did not have 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 for subpart F animals must contain projecting rims or other devices on the exterior walls to prevent obstruction of the ventilation.
