On the morning of February 22, 2024, a pigtail macaque was identified as unresponsive within the outdoor section of the sheltered enclosure. The animal care staff and clinical veterinarian responded to the unresponsive macaque, but the animal was already deceased. It was noted by staff that the macaque had gotten its hand stuck in a narrow gap in the steel floor of the enclosure along the edge of the cage frame. An investigation into the incident was completed by the ACUC and the facility staff following the incident. Primary enclosures must be constructed and maintained so that they protect the nonhuman primates from injury. Corrected before the time of inspection by a corrective action plan and welding steel plates along the perimeter of the floors in the outdoor sections of the sheltered enclosures. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the facility representatives. This inspection was conducted from 4/25-26/2024 Additional Inspectors: GLORIA MCFADDEN, VETERINARY MEDICAL OFFICER Jason Sifkarovski, VETERINARY MEDICAL OFFICER n
