27
# Minimum Level Air requiremments
Provide enough air to meet respiration requirments and operates continuously 33cfm/1000 lb of animal weight
28
# Second Level AIr Requirments
* Provides addiontal air movement to control temp and moisture * Usually controlled by thermostat * Addiotnal 100 cfm/1000 lb of animal weight

3 levels of biosecurity
National State Local Flock
35
Flock Biosecurity
* Pruchase healthy animals from flocks frree of disease * limit public access to sheep pens * quarentine animals introduced into the flock * dieases prevention | Purchase from flock free of disease and rams tested for Brucella ovis by
36
Quarentine
Minimum of 3 weeks no shared equiptment deworm and delice Show animals need to be ioslaated after a show
37
Preventative Health Plan
Adresses: Visitors, New additions, and stage of productio cycle
38
In what year did OTC antibiotics become prescription only
2023
39
# Flock Health Pre-Breeding HHP
* Quarentine all new rams * Test for brucella ovis and semen quality * Trim hoovves * Evaluate ewe BCS * VX against abortion agents * Deworm prior to flush
40
Gestation HHP
* Gestate ewe lambs separate from mature ewes * Pour with delice after shearing * Booster of campylobacter all ewes mid-gestation
41
Late Gestation HHP
