| 19302 | 1d8278c0513e729f | 3.81(b) | 1 | ENVIRONMENT ENHANCEMENT TO PROMOTE PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING. | The environmental enrichment provided for the non-human primates was not adequate. The facilities enhancement plan states “The toys in their cage are changed on a regular basis.” There were at least seven enclosures housing thirteen non-human primates with no toys in the enclosure. There were other enclosures with minimal enrichment but not toys. The lack of environmental enhancement may lead to abnormal behavior patterns and decreased mental and emotional health. The licensee must provide environmental enhancement in accordance with currently accepted professional standards as cited in appropriate professional journals or reference guides, and as directed by the attending veterinarian that is appropriate for the species housed at the facility. |
