Animal Management: Animal Husbandry Obj. 6.01 Safety in the Animal Industry • Common Causes of Human Injury – Human Error: poor judgment or lack of focus – Improper Training: workers not properly trained – Failure to use personal protective equipment – Environmental factors such as poor ventilation Safety in Animal Industry • Chemical Safety – All chemicals must be properly labeled and stored. Material safety data sheets must be maintained. – Workers must be trained on how to use chemical – Personal protective equipment must be used and properly cleaned after use Safety in Animal Industry • Animal Handling – Facilities should provide safe environment for workers and animals • Adequate space • Properly working equipment • Adequate lighting Safety in Animal Industry • Animal Behavior – Vision: livestock have a wider range of peripheral vision but they have limited depth perception. – Noise: react negatively to loud noises and high pitched sounds – Fight or Flight: aggression is shown when they can not escape or when they are protecting their young Safety in Animal Industry • Animal Handling Recommendations – Animal Restraint Equipment • Head gate and Squeeze Chutes: restrain cattle for specific purpose • Halter: used to restrain cattle, sheep, goats and horses • Muzzle: used to restrain cats and dogs Safety in Animal Industry • “Flight Zone” of cattle: imaginary circle that surrounds an animal. When humans enter the flight zone, animal will move away. Safety in Animal Science • Awareness of Animal Behavior Indicators – Head raised – Wide eyes – Flaring nostrils – Tense muscles – Ear position Safety in Animal Industry • Acclimating Animals to Human Contact – Handlers should attempt to make human contact a positive experience. • Visit frequently • Avoid loud noises and fast movement Animal Management • Preventative Maintenance Checklist – Keep accurate records – Provide adequate nutrition to meet animal needs – Vaccinate animals for diseases – Maintain control on parasites – Routinely check animals for change in behavior – Maintain a clean facility – Biosecurity – Have a veterinarian Animal Management • Diseases – Noninfectious diseases cause • Faulty nutrition: unbalanced ration • Metabolic disorder: not digested correctly • Trauma: wounds or injuries • Toxic substance: poisonous materials • Congenital defects: birth defects Animal Management • Diseases – Infectious diseases causes: • • Virus: microscopic infective agent that causes disease – Flu, rabies and shipping fever – Can be controlled by vaccination Bacteria: one-celled microorganisms that can cause disease – Salmonella and E. coli – Can be prevented by proper sanitation Animal Management • Parasites – – Internal: live inside the animal • Roundworm, heartworm and tapeworm • Can be controlled by deworming External: • • Lice, fleas, mites and ticks Can be controlled through chemical and biological methods.
