HAZARDS OF ANIMAL DISEASES - Start Of 2nd Quarter Flashcards
Animal-to-man diseases called?
zoonoses
What is well-known the well known animal-to-man diseases?
- Caused by virus that is normally transmitted in the saliva of the infected animal
- Spread through bites, scratches
Rabies
KEY TO PREVENTION for Animal-to-man diseases:
- Cleanliness
- Vaccination
- Quarantine of sick animals
Several types of personal protective equipment should be used around livestock:
- Bump caps, hard hats
- Respirators
- Goggles
- Protective gloves
personal protective equipment in dusty, moldy areas, in silos, manure storage areas, and around pesticides
Respirators
personal protective equipment for eye protection from dust, chaff, and chemicals
Goggles
Gloves used for light work
Cotton or canvas gloves
Gloves used for heavier work or barbed wire fencing
Leather gloves
Gloves used for sick animals or assisting at birth
Rubber gloves
three types of atmospheric contamination:
- Dust, particulate matter
- Pesticides
- Toxic and asphyxiating gases
atmospheric contamination from feed, animal hair, and fecal matter
Dust, particulate matter
atmospheric contamination in treating livestock
Pesticides
atmospheric contamination produced in liquid manure storage pits
Toxic and asphyxiating gases
FOUR TYPES OF DANGEROUS GASES:
- Ammonia
- Hydrogen sulfide
- Methane
- Carbon dioxide
- can stem from working in confinement buildings
- including coughing, shortness of breath, scratchy throat, headaches, and watering eyes
Respiratory problems
may result from continued exposure to a contaminated atmosphere in confinement livestock buildings
Permanent lung damage
Two kinds of respiratory protection equipment:
- Air-purifying respirators
- Atmosphere-supplying respirators
● use filters to remove the contaminants from the air before it is inhaled.
Air-purifying respirators
● supply air from a source independent from the surrounding air.
Atmosphere-supplying respirators
Fires are classified into four main categories based on the type of material that is burning.
Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D
Categories of class A fires:
➢ Wood
➢ Paper
➢ Textiles
➢ Grass
➢ Trash
Categories of class B fires:
➢ Grease
➢ Gasoline
➢ Oils
➢ Paints
➢ Kerosene
➢ Solvents
Categories of class C fires:
➢ Electrical equipment
➢ Electrical Wiring
Categories of class D fires:
➢ Sodium
➢ Potassium
➢ Titanium
➢ Magnesium
These materials burn easily and create a fire that can often be extinguished with water.
Class A
- This type of fire is often encountered in kitchens, gas stations, or industrial settings where flammable liquids are handled regularly.
- Do not use water because it can spread the fire.
- It must be smothered to extinguish them.
- Blanketing agents such as carbon dioxide, water-based foam, or a wet blanket may be used to smother a small Class B fire. This creates a barrier between the fuel and the oxygen in the air.
Class B
- Common causes of Class C fires include malfunctioning appliances, short circuits, and electrical overloads.
- Do not use water on a Class C fire unless all power to the area has been cut off.
- The fire fighter can suffer from severe electrical shock if water is used on a Class C fire.
- High-pressure water fogs can be used so they can cool the fire without allowing electricity to flow through the water stream.
Class C
- Water and carbon dioxide will not control Class D fires because these materials provide a source of oxygen for the burning metal.
- These fires must be controlled by removing air with a blanket of nonreactive powder like sodium chloride or graphite.
Class D
- Must be used for the different classes of fires.
- Are marked with a combination of letters and colors for the class of fire on which they can be used.
fire extinguisher
● Marked with an A in a green triangle.
● They are suitable for general fires in homes, offices, and schools.
Class A fire extinguisher
● Marked with a B in a red square.
● These extinguishers are often found in areas where
such liquids are stored or used, like kitchens and garages.
Class B fire extinguishers
● Marked with a C in a blue circle.
● Class C fire extinguishers can also be utilized to fight Class A and B fires.
Class C fire extinguisher
● Marked with a D in a yellow five-pointed star.
● These fire extinguishers are typically utilized by the aircraft industry, auto body shops, and various manufacturers and factories that work with metals, and,other fire hazards related to metals.
Class D fire extinguisher
- Protection from biological harm to living things from diseases, pests, and bioterrorism.
Biosecurity
- Deliberate use of biological or chemical weapons.
Bioterrorism
- Deliberate use of biological or chemical weapons to bring harm to agricultural enterprises.
Agroterrorism
- Use of all possible means and procedures to guard against deliberate or incidental harm to the food production system.
Agrosecurity
could be disastrous economically for a producer.
porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS)
presents a major threat to both the poultry industry and human health. Since no vaccines are available for certain diseases, biosecurity measures are the only effective defense against these threats .
avian influenza
are among the agents that can cause significant harm to agricultural enterprises. These agents can be spread via wind, animals, and trade. It can also spread accidentally through the movement of people, vehicles, and equipment.
Pests, diseases, and chemicals
Anything a producer does to prevent such destruction of the food industry can be considered?
agrosecurity
has become an essential part of modern livestock management due to the growing risks associated with disease outbreaks.
Biosecurity
For prevention, the livestock producers buy healthy animals and keep them away from their other herds for how many days? This period allows the livestock producer or manager to detect any diseases that the animal may have.
10 to 30 days
