HATS Failure Category III: Water and feed availability 4/1/2025 while I was performing my Humane Handling Task, the following non-compliance was observed. While I was walking out to the animal holding pens. I observed in pen one, a sow that did not have access to water. On the other side of the pen was the water container for the animal. The sow could not reach the water, and the head of this sow was too large to fit between the bars to reach it. I notified REDACTED at 9:05A.M. of this failure 9 CFR 313.2(e) and that a non-compliance will be issued. When I asked when the last time they check on the animal. REDACTED stated it was the night before. The animal was given water at 8:40A.M. after locating someone to give it water.
