HATS Category VII - Slips and Falls. CSI REDACTED has been directed by REDACTED, DVM (Deputy District Manager) to issue this noncompliance record to K & C Meats in Navasota, Texas. For the failure to comply with HATS Category VII and Regulation 9CFR 313.1(b). On September 13th, 2021 at approximately 08:20am while conducting a HATS Category VII Humane Handling Task, a noncompliance was observed. I observed several livestock approximately 15 pigs ,slip and fall due to a degraded flooring located in the livestock pen and driveway. The flooring was originally made of coarse concrete, which has become very smooth overtime. Several of the pigs observed during inspection, completely fell, while some rolled, and some fell to the side while the establishment employee was handling and moving the pigs. The establishment has been found noncompliant with 9CFR 313.1(b) which states; “Floors of livestock pens, ramps, and driveways shall be constructed and maintained so as to provide good footing for livestock. Slip resistant or waffled floor surfaces, cleated ramps and the use of sand, as appropriate, during winter months are examples of acceptable construction and maintenance.” The Establishment has been notified of a forthcoming noncompliance.
