    Study Notes

    Cleaning vs Disinfection

    • Cleaning involves removing dirt, feces, and visible debris from surfaces.
    • Cleaning also involves thorough scrubbing with a detergent to break down and remove oils and organic matter.
    • The detergent should be rinsed off, and the surface allowed to dry before applying a disinfectant.
    • Organic matter disrupts disinfection.

    Disinfection

    • Disinfection involves the use of a chemical disinfectant product.
    • The disinfectant product should be selected based on its effectiveness against specific infectious agents of concern.

    Cleaning and Disinfection

    • Cleaning involves removing dirt, feces, and visible debris, followed by scrubbing with a detergent to break down and remove oils and organic matter.
    • The detergent should be rinsed off, and the surface allowed to dry before applying a disinfectant.
    • Organic matter disrupts disinfection, making it essential to remove it before disinfecting.

    Disinfection

    • Disinfection involves using a chemical disinfectant product selected for its effectiveness against specific infectious agents of concern.
    • Facilities and grounds have a high risk of contamination with infectious agents, making good hygiene practices crucial to prevent disease spread.

    Good Hygiene Practices

    • Hand washing is essential to prevent disease spread.
    • Prompt removal of sources of infection is crucial to prevent disease transmission.
    • Prompt waste removal and proper storage are necessary to prevent disease spread.
    • Thorough cleaning and disinfection are essential to prevent disease transmission.

    Animal Housing and Surfaces

    • Primary animal housing should be cleaned frequently to maintain a sanitary environment.
    • Thorough cleaning and disinfection of primary animal housing are necessary between animals.
    • Multi-use animal contact surfaces (e.g., grooming tables, scales, crates/runs) should be cleaned and disinfected between animals.
    • Floors in common use areas should be cleaned and disinfected at least once a day.
    • Flooring for the environment should be made from non-porous material that is easy to clean and disinfect.

    Disease Prevention in Animals

      • Observing off-food behavior
      • Noting excessive vocalisations
      • Monitoring excessive sleeping
    • Records are kept for all health checks
    • Good nutrition is essential for animal health

    Stress Management and Infection Control

    • Measures are taken to lower stress in animals
    • Animal density is considered, as higher density increases the risk of disease transmission
    • Potentially infectious animals are identified and isolated from others in the group
    • Prompt veterinary attention is provided for any injuries or illnesses

    Disease Prevention in Animals

    • All animals should be up-to-date on vaccinations to prevent diseases.

    Vaccinations for Dogs

    • Canine Parvovirus
    • Canine Distemper
    • Canine Hepatitis
    • Canine Cough
    • Leptospirosis

    Vaccinations for Cats

    • Feline Enteritis (Feline Panleukopenia Virus)
    • Feline Upper Respiratory Disease (Feline Calicivirus, Feline Rhinotracheitis Virus)

    Additional Measures

    • Flea and worm treatment should be given at the facility during stay if required.
    • Daily viewing and health checks should be performed, with records kept for:
      • Weight loss
      • Off food
      • Excessive vocalisations or sleeping
    • Good nutrition is essential for animal health.
    • Measures to lower stress should be taken.
    • Animal density should be considered, as higher density increases the risk of disease.

    Infectious Disease Control

    • Early identification and isolation of potentially infectious animals from others in the group is crucial.
    • Prompt veterinary attention should be sought for any injuries or illness.
    • All facilities should recognize and understand the risk, prevention, and control of infectious diseases.

    Disease-Causing Agents

    • Pathogens include:
      • Parasites
      • Viruses
      • Bacteria
      • Fungi
      • Protozoa

    Spread of Infectious Agents

    • Infectious agents can be brought to and spread throughout an animal facility in many ways, including:
      • Through dogs, people, other domestic animals, and wildlife.
      • Through food, water, waste, feces, and the environment.
      • Through vehicles and equipment.
      • Through insects, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas, which can carry and transmit infectious agents through their bite.
