The acquisition record of a shipment of animals was altered by the licensee and not accurate. Ten animals were represented on the document provided by the licensee as arriving April 21, 2023, however, the disposition record from the sending facility, signed as received by this licensee, only documents nine animals. Instead, one male Thomson’s gazelle was added to the licensee’s acquisition record dated April 21, 2023, by the licensee. Per the sending facility's records, the male gazelle was transferred to the licensee on September 7, 2022 in a previous shipment. An accurate record of animals acquired, owned, held, leased or otherwise in the facility's possession is required for medical and legal tracking purposes. Required information includes the name and address of the person from whom the animals were obtained, the USDA license or registration number if they are licensed or registered, the date obtained, and the species and number of animals involved. The facility shall keep and maintain records that fully and correctly disclose the required information for all animals acquired, including any offspring born of any animal while in the facility's possession. This is a 2nd Re-License Inspection for a Class “C” license. The inspection and exit briefing were conducted with the applicant. All items must be in compliance within 1 more inspection or by SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 or the applicant will forfeit the license fee and must wait 6 months to reapply. Please contact your inspector to schedule your next Re-License Inspection. Regulated activity can continue under your existing USDA license until it expires.
