Non-Compliance Description:

HATS Category III Ante-Mortem Inspection On September 22, 2021 at approximately 0742 hours while performing Ante Mortem Livestock Inspection on cattle from pen 5 (north side) I noted the following regulatory non-compliance. While the animals were being presented from pen 5 for my inspection, I observed that the water trough was empty. There was a total of 33 animals in the pen. I immediately took regulatory control action and asked the responsible employee to please remove and place the cattle into a pen where water was available. Furthermore, I asked to see the documentation of the arrival time of cattle and noted that the cattle had arrived at 0516hours. I placed a U.S. Reject Tag B45440613 on the pen. I showed REDACTED (Cattle Pen Supervisor) my findings and informed him of the non-compliance and that a non-compliance record (NR) would be issued. The establishment failed to meet the requirement of 9 CFR 313.2(e) “which requires that water is available to livestock in all holding pens.” REDACTED CSI
