Or. Admin. Code § 603-029-0700 - Meat Animal Pens, Driveways and Ramps
(1) Meat animal pens, driveways and ramps
shall be maintained in good repair. They shall be free from sharp or protruding
objects which may, in the opinion of the inspector, cause injury or pain to the
animals. Loose boards, splintered or broken planking, and unnecessary openings
where the head, feet, or legs of an animal may be injured shall be
repaired.
(2) Floors of meat animal
pens, ramps, and driveways shall be constructed and maintained so as to provide
good footing for meat animals. 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.
(3) Oregon Suspects (as defined in OAR
603-029-0010(52)) and dying, diseased, and disabled meat animals (as defined in
OAR 603-029-0010 (25)) shall be provided with a covered pen sufficient, in the
opinion of the inspector, to protect them from the adverse climatic conditions
of the locale while awaiting disposition by the inspector.
(4) Meat animal pens and driveways shall be
so arranged that sharp corners and direction reversal of driven animals are
minimized.
