The abscess on the sow has not been treated and the veterinarian has not been contacted in regards to treatment at this time. It is important that all illnesses, injuries or health issues are identified, treated and communicated to the veterinarian for treatment protocols. The licensee must be vigilant in observing health issues early in order to decrease the level of pain and discomfort to the animal and to keep a minimal issue from becoming a major condition. The licensee must provide immediate care and treatment in conjunction with their veterinarians recommendations as soon as issues have been identified. The licensee drained, cleaned and medicated the sow and the abscess before the end of the inspection.

  • Sow abscess not observed or treated

    There was a female sow #1257 that had an extremely large abscess approximately 5 inches long (approx. 10inches in diameter) on the right side of the neck/top front shoulder area under the back of the jaw line. The skin was dark red and pulled tight due to the pressure of the infection, with scab material running the length of the abscess. It took several days for the abscess to get to this size and it had not been observed or treated by the facility until it was identified during this inspection. It is important that all illnesses, injuries or health issues are identified, treated and communicated to the veterinarian in a timely manner in order to prevent prolonged discomfort or pain to the regulated animals and to prevent a treatable issue from becoming a chronic untreatable condition. The licensee must conduct daily observations of all regulated animals and identify health issues in a timely manner and contact the veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment of health issues. The abscess had been lanced, cleaned and treated by the manager before the end of this inspection. This sow was put on the treatment records for the facility for proper follow up treatment until the issue is resolved.

June 11, 2015 — Routine inspection, USDA 33-A-0392

  • Sow and piglet injuries untreated (Direct, Repeat)

    There was a sow (#858) in room 6 of the farrowing area that had an injury to her right front leg. There was a scrape approximately 3-5 inches long and 2 inches wide that had a yellowish color and was slick with a fluid, possible infection or tissue fluid due to the irritation. There was a flap of skin hanging on the let and did appear to be a few days old. The sow was also observed to be shaking her head continuously, tilting her head to the left and appeared to have moderate discomfort with her head with some irritation in her left ear. -There was a sow (#97) that had a swelling approximately 3-4 inches on her right knee that had an approximate 1 inch circular protrusion from the center of it that was pink/red in color. This was a previously treated abscess from May 4th-7th 2015 and appeared healed at that time, however at this time this area has become misshaped with a strange center around the knee area and has an issue that should be looked at by a veterinarian. -There were three 3 month old pigs out of 150 pigs being moved to the nursery barn, that had facial injuries around their eyes and noses covered with a thick brown crusty material. There were areas on their faces where the skin was cracked, red and raw in appearance. There has been no treatment for these issues at this time and the veterinarian has not been consulted or seen either health issue by the time of the inspection. Untreated injuries can cause unnecessary pain and discomfort to the regulated animals, and left untreated can become infected or cause chronic issues depending on the affliction. The veterinarian must be contacted for proper diagnosis and treatment of any injuries or illnesses as soon as they are observed, and/or the animals should be treated according to protocols set up by their attending veterinarian for injuries/illnesses once they are observed. Note: The attending veterinarian was contacted by the end of the inspection and preliminary treatment was provided to all animals mentioned by the facility employee during the inspection.

  • Daily observations not performed (Direct, Repeat)

    There were 2 sows (#858 and #97) and 3 three month old pigs that had injuries that had not been observed or treated until during the inspection. The lack of thorough daily observations of all regulated animals can cause a treatable condition when caught early to become unnecessarily painful and cause discomfort for the animal. Minor injuries or illnesses can then become infected or chronic if left untreated for prolonged periods of time, depending on the issue. There must be daily observation of all animals to assess their health and well-being and provided further, That a mechanism of direct and frequent communication is required so that timely and accurate information on problems of animal health, behavior, and well-being is conveyed to the attending veterinarian.

  • Pigs dropped 1–2 feet during loading

    Upon arrival at the facility there was a trailer being loaded with 150 three month old,12-15 pound pigs that were being transported from the farrowing barn to the nursery barn down the road. The carts used to transport the pigs (approx. 4' L x 3' deep x 3' W) from their current location to the trailer were over loaded 3 to 4 pig layers deep. At the point of unloading a young employee was grabbing the pigs by the leg and tossing them into the trailer and dropping them from his standing height, resulting in the animals falling 1-2 feet onto the floor. The pace this handler was grabbing and tossing the pigs was so fast that the pigs dropped were unable to stand up and move out of the way before the second and third pigs were dropped on top of them. This resulted in the squealing and thumping that was heard in the lot that drew the inspectors' attention upon arrival. The second cart behind this one was also loaded 3 pigs deep, however this older employee did unload the pigs properly by dropping them into the trailer at a height that allowed them to stand and move out of the way before the next pig was put in, and they were picked up by the body when moved. The mass loading of the carts and handling of pigs from the carts into the trailer was corrected immediately for the remainder of the loading of 150 pigs. The last 50-60 pigs had been transported in the crates in the appropriate numbers resulting in only a single layer of pigs at a time. And they were set in the trailer properly and with enough time to move. There were no injuries observed during the loading of these pigs during the inspection. It is imperative that proper handling and transport of the regulated animals is observed in order to prevent any stress, physical harm or unnecessary discomfort to the animals. The licensee must make sure that all regulated animals are handled properly to prevent unnecessary stress or possibility of injuries, and that all employees are trained to handle the animals properly. To be corrected by: The NCI was corrected immediately during the inspection and from this day forward Note: The licensee advised that proper handling training will be immediately provided to all employees and close monitoring will be implemented from this day forward.

  • Clutter in farrowing and gestation rooms

    There were several rooms in the farrowing and gestation barn that had an accumulation of clutter in the isle or in the corner of the rooms. The clutter would consist of unused lights, buckets or hoses, and an unused feeder hanging from the ceiling that needs to be removed. Clutter in the facility alongside of the regulated animals can be a source of possible injury to the animals as they are moved into or out of their stalls. Piles of clutter can also be areas for vermin to reside and be a source of disease to the regulated animals. All trash and clutter shall be removed or stored in appropriate areas to facilitate good husbandry practices and keep the premises clean and in good repair. To be corrected by: June 14, 2015

  • Thick fly swarms in barns

    There is a problem with the lack of fly control methods being used in several of the farrowing rooms and in the 3 gestation barns. While the facility does occasionally utilize a spray to control the flies, currently the situation has become increasingly worse with thick swarms of flies located near the cooling cells in the gestation barns and moderate amounts near the doorways and the front stalls of several farrowing rooms.

  • Mouse bait on windowsill near trough

    There was a block of mouse bait sitting on a windowsill approximately 3-4 feet from the feeding trough of several sows.

September 28, 2015 — Routine inspection, USDA 33-A-0392

  • Pigs' swellings not reported or treated

    During the inspection there were ten pigs with health issues identified that had not been reported to the attending veterinarian or treated due to not being observed. There were six 4-6week old pigs in room #2, and 1 in room #4 that had fluid filled swellings of their left ears. One of the pigs in room #2 also had a swollen left rear hock and was limping, and 1 pig in room #4 had three of her four legs with multiple lumps/swelling on the right rear hock and both front ankles along with the fluid filled ear swellings. In the second to last pen in the Pre-Shipment barn there was a male pig approximately 25 weeks of age that had very large swellings on both sides of his neck and under the chin. .All animals observed during the inspection with the injuries appeared to be in good health and not in any obvious pain, however there were signs of discomfort due to limping by those with the leg swellings and some head shaking from those with the swollen fluid filled ears. Due to the these injuries not being observed until during the inspection, there had not been any treatment given or veterinarian contacted. It is very important that any injuries or illnesses are observed as soon as possible in order to prevent a minor issue from becoming chronic and to decrease the time an animal is in any discomfort or pain. Daily observations of all animals, especially in large populations (1000 pigs) as with this facility need to be conducted thoroughly. To be corrected by: CORRECTED During the inspection the veterinarian had been contacted and all animals were treated, including all fluid filled ears drained and treated, and medications provided under veterinary direction for those animals with leg swellings. All animals are on the facilities treatment log to continue with daily treatment as needed and monitoring until the injuries are resolved under the direction of their veterinarian.

  • Daily pig observations not conducted

    In a population of 1000 pigs, there were 6 young pigs 4-6 weeks of age in room #2, two pigs in room #4 and two adults in the Pre-Shipment barn that had some physical health issues that had gone un-noticed until during the inspection. All of the pigs appeared to be healthy and acting normal except for those with injured ears full of fluid and joint swellings, and one with large swelling of the neck area. All of the younger pigs were recently moved to their new barn at this site 6 days ago. The animals did not appear to be in noticeable pain during the inspection, however discomfort was observed by some limping and shaking of the heads. It is imperative that all animals are checked daily for any signs of illness or injuries in order to decrease the time of discomfort or pain by a regulated animal. In such large populations of animals it will take more effort to make sure all animals are observed, however it is important for their health and well being that any injury/illness is identified before it becomes painful or chronic. The licensee must continue to work at physically checking all animals on a daily basis for any possible health issues and making sure all animals are treated in a timely manner. To be corrected: September 28, 2015

May 16, 2017 — Routine inspection, USDA 33-A-0392

4 dogs recorded (4 adults).

  • No written program of veterinary care

    The facility did not have a written program of veterinary care for dogs at the time of the inspection. A written program of veterinary care is required for each species housed at the facility. A written program of veterinary care is necessary to convey the attending veterinarian's expectations for routine preventative medical care and euthanasia for animals housed at the facility. The lack of a written program may result in inadequate or inappropriate animal care and thus be detrimental to the health of the animals. The licensee should ensure that a program of veterinary care is in place for each regulated species housed at the facility and that the document contains sufficient detail so that they may follow the attending veterinarian's recommendations. Correct by May 24, 2017.

  • Two pigs given expired medication (Direct)

    An expired injectable antibiotic had been used to treat two of the pigs (#88928 and #88925) prior to the inspection. The expiration date on the label of a bottle of injectable corticosteroid that was also used to treat the pigs had been covered by a veterinary label making it impossible to determine the expiration date on this bottle.

  • Recumbent pig with fecal matting (Direct)

    A third pig (#90933) was found recumbent by facility employees at approximately 8:30 the morning of the inspection and was recumbent and vocalizing at the time of the inspection. Several scratches were apparent on the hindquarters and a substantial amount of fecal material was also adhered to the animal's skin. According to an employee the attending veterinarian had been called after the animal was found but had not called back regarding treatment as of approximately 11:00 hours. The animal was isolated but had received no treatment.

  • Pigs housed on bare concrete (Direct)

    All three pigs were found in concrete stalls with no bedding.

  • Rusted mesh flooring and rails

    The bottom rails and metal mesh flooring of the dog enclosures were rusted. Rusted metal prevents required cleaning and sanitation and may affect the structural strength of the surface. The facility should ensure that surfaces with excessive rust are repaired or replaced in a timely manner. Correct by May 31, 2017.

  • No exercise plan for dogs

    The facility had no exercise plan for dogs in place at the time of the inspection. The facility should develop, document, and follow an appropriate plan to provide dogs with the opportunity for exercise. The plan should be approved by the attending veterinarian. Correct by May 24, 2017.

  • Feces under dog enclosures

    An excessive amount of feces were observed under the dog enclosures and fecal material was smeared on the flooring of the enclosures. According to employees at the facility the enclosures were cleaned every other day, were last cleaned on the previous Sunday, and were due to be cleaned the day of the inspection. The enclosures had not been cleaned as of approximately 12:00 hours on the day of the inspection. Excreta and food waste must be removed from primary enclosures daily, and from under primary enclosures as often as necessary to prevent an excessive accumulation of feces and food waste, to prevent soiling of the animals, and to reduce disease hazards, insects, pests, and odors. Correct from this time forward.

  • Pigs drinking in feces-filled trough

    An excessive amount of excreta was present in the back portion of the pig primary enclosures. The trough-like area at the back of the enclosures contained a black liquid mixture of excrement and water and was adjacent to the spigots used by the pigs to obtain water. Pigs were observed drinking while standing in the liquid. Several animals were observed to have large areas of feces adhered their skin, including one animal that was found recumbent and sick the morning of the inspection. According to an employee the animal had been found recumbent in the trough. An employee also stated that the enclosures were cleaned every other day. Exposure to excessive amounts of excreta may negatively impact animal health. The facility should remove excreta as often as necessary to prevent contamination of the animals and minimize disease hazards and reduce odors. Correct from this time forward.
