Biosecurity• Biosecurity refers to management strategies that lessen
biological risk – a biological risk is something that can cause disease in other living things• Small and large 4-H animals depend on their human owners to
provide them with medical care, safe, clean housing, food and water.• Biosecurity practices minimize the spread of diseases or pests
in 4-H project animals and on farms.• Many biosecurity practices are “common sense”- HOWEVER
they must be consistently followed to reduce risk.

Be SICK Smart• S-anitize- This PowerPoint will tell you more
about how and why to sanitize• I-solate- Any sick animal and animals
returning from a fair/show for 14 days• C-ontact- Prevent contact at fence lines and
animal nose touching• K-now- What “Normal” is – including: T.P.R.,
coat, behavior, food consumption etc…AND
April 19, 20234
More to “K-now”
• Know what proper and appropriate care is.• What are a healthy animals’ needs in your region?• What are appropriate feed rations? Spatial needs?
Vaccinations? Deworming? And other routine health maintenance?

Sanitization is Part of Your Biosecurity Plan
•What is Sanitizing?•Cleaning is removing organic materials
from objects.•Disinfecting is to destroy
microorganisms on objects.• Sanitizing is simultaneously cleaning
and disinfecting objects.
April 19, 20236
What are we Sanitizing for?•Microorganisms! • They are also called GERMS, when they
cause infections diseases in people or animals•Microorganisms can’t be seen by the
naked eye- some even require an electron microscope to be viewed!
April 19, 20237
Microorganisms•Most are considered living organisms and
millions of them are all around us all the time.•Bacteria, and many protists (i.e.: algae)
and fungi (i.e.: mushrooms) are microorganisms.•Viruses are also Microorganisms
April 19, 20238
Viruses•Viruses are a challenge to science. Some
scientists think they are living organisms and should be considered microorganisms. However, viruses cannot grow or reproduce outside a host cell. For this reason, some scientists argue they are not living organisms.
April 19, 20239
Viruses and animals
• For example, rabies is caused by a virus. • It is important to know which viruses
may infect your type of animal and have a plan for prevention • In your plan, it’s important to reduce
exposure to vectors such as flies or mosquitos, since they are major carriers of viruses.
April 19, 202310
Viruses and humans
• For example, the “common cold” (known as Rhinovirus) is caused by a virus. • Since viruses are a major cause of
disease and illness in humans and animals, we vaccinate.
April 19, 202311
Vaccines
•Vaccines are used to combat viruses in humans and animals. Some human diseases we vaccinate for are mumps, measles, and chicken pox.
April 19, 202312
Vaccines
• Your local veterinarian or county Extension Livestock Agent can provide information on developing a vaccination schedule for your species of animal.

Other “Germs”• Bacteria are one-celled creatures that get nutrients from their
environment. In some cases that environment is a human’s or animal’s body. In people they cause infections such as strep throat, pneumonia and tuberculosis.
April 19, 202314
Other “Germs”• Fungi are multi-celled organism. Fungi cannot make their own
food; instead they get their nutrition from plants, people and animal. Athlete’s foot and ringworm are caused by a fungi. Yeast is a useful fungi. What other fungi do we eat?
April 19, 202315
Other “Germs”• Protozoa are one-celled organisms that need a moist
environment to survive. In humans protozoa cause intestinal infections that lead to diarrhea and nausea.
April 19, 202316
Microorganisms• They aren’t ALL bad! Many bacteria are useful to
humans!• Yogurt is produced by the fermentation of milk. Two of
the bacteria found in yogurt are Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lactococcus thermophilus. These are lactose fermenting bacteria that produce lactic acid from the lactose in milk. • Some help with digestion, destroy harmful organisms
or assist with decomposition in landfills.

How do Germs spread?
See the Handouts accompanying your Glo-Germ kit
The Glo- Germ lesson plan lists these 4 ways:• Fecal-oral contact (i.e. Hepatitis A)• Direct/close contact (i.e. Lice)• Blood contact (i.e. hepatitis B, HIV/Aids)• Respiratory/airborne contact ( influenza, colds)
April 19, 202318
How do Germs spread?
The Minnesota Food Safety Center Handout lists 5 Ways the human hand spreads germs:• Nose, mouth or eyes to hands to others• Hands to food• Food to hands to other food• Animals to people • Infected child to hands of other children
April 19, 202319
To fight GERMS for our animals: Sanitize
Sanitizing = Cleaning + Disinfecting•Clean= remove all organic material•Disinfecting= Destroying microorganisms
April 19, 202320
What do we sanitize?• Any equipment used on sick
animals• Any equipment that comes in
contact with an animal’s skin & blood after each use: hoof knife, clippers, tattoo pliers, ear taggers, ear notchers, dehorners• On a regular schedule- waterers
and feed troughs• Nursing bottles and buckets before
each feeding
April 19, 202321
What do we sanitize?
• Vehicles to be used to transport animals & use clean bedding• All equipment, halters & gear taken to a fair/show upon return• Animal housing between animals and isolation areas• Any equipment before sharing and when it is returned• Our own boots!
April 19, 202322
Bleach- Sodium hypochlorite• Should be used by adults or with adult supervision.• Wear protective equipment- read the label on the bottle!• Remove all animals from they area- bleach can irritate their
mucus membranes too.• Dry the surface before using bleach- properly diluted bleach on
a damp/wet surface is diluted further.• Be patient- bleach solutions require a full 10 minutes of
contact time to ensure complete disinfection.• Rinse and dry before returning equipment to use or animals to
an enclosure.
April 19, 202323
Bleach- Sodium hypochlorite
Daily use formula 5.25% sodium hypochlorite or 1:32 solution• ½ cup bleach per gallon of waterOR• 1 ounce of bleach per 32 ounces of water in a
spray bottle• Fresh solutions should be prepared daily for
the most effectiveness
April 19, 202324
Bleach- Sodium hypochlorite
• For periodic deep cleaning use a 1:10 concentration of bleach• Remove animals from the area• Use protective equipment• 1 ½ cups bleach per gallon of waterOR• 3 ounces of bleach per 32 ounces of water
April 19, 202325
• YOU can carry and spread germs too!
• Use the lessons in the Glo Germ kit to practice good hand washing procedures.• Apply what you learn about
ensuring hands are clean to your animal husbandry routines
Let Glo Germ Light the Way!
April 19, 202326
Your Glo Germ kit includes:• Glo Germ Gel• Glo Germ Powder • An Ultra Violet Flash Light • Hand washing lesson plans
and copy pages for grades K- 6
You will need to have: • A Watch with a second hand• Warm water & soap• Paper Towels
Glo Germ Kit
April 19, 202327
• Ask for a volunteer• Place 2 drops gel or a light
sprinkling of power on each hand.• The volunteer should rub
their hands together.• The volunteer should wash
their hands with soap.• Use the Ultra Violet light- Can
you see any Glo Germs?• Continue with the lesson in
the Trainers Manual
Glo Germ Gel or Powder Lesson

Draw a quadrant on the bottom of each Petri Dish before mixing and pouring the nutrient agar.Try this experiment. Select a feed bin, water trough or other item to study. Sample it 4 times:1- before you start to clean.2- after you clean.3- after you disinfect with 1:32 bleach solution4- after you disinfect with 1:10 bleach solution
Extend the Learning- Put 4 Samples into 1 Petri Dish
April 19, 202333
• Form a hypothesis about the results you will get in each of the 4 quadrants on the Petri Dish.• Once you have results,
compare them to your hypothesis.
• Form another hypothesis based on the information you learned and test it too!
Before you begin…think like a scientist!
