Q

In vitro

  • Which animals are used?
  • Requirements?
  • Which phase is it used for?
  • Advantages and disadvantages?
A

• Do not require living animals
• Required materials:
– Fresh cattle or swine blood, coagulation inhibited by heparin
– 0.9% NaCl solution
– 10% oxytetracyclin-HCl solution as positive control for tissue irritation (freshly made)
– Test products (Engemycin, Tetravet)
– Distilled water (positive control)
–> compare the hemolysing (→tissue-irritating) ability of the drugs!
• Used in preclinical phase
• Advantages: Fast, cheap
• Disadvantages: only preliminary orientating data. Can not completely replace the in vivo examination methods!

Q

How to disinfect a drilled well (substance + amount) and in which case would it be obligatory?

A
  1. 100 g calcium-hypochlorite or 300 cm3 bleach should be solved in 1 litre of water and poured into the well
  2. After mixing, leave for 24hours rest and smell. If chloride is smellable it’s good. If there is no chloride smell we should repeat it until we reach the chloride smell.
  3. Then the water from the well should be discarded, till the smell of the chlorine cannot be smelled.
    - Disinfection is obligatory immediately after a well is worked on. Also in the case of a known contamination such as disease causing microorganisms (pathogens). That may have been introduced into the well during construction, hookup, maintenance, or as a result of faulty well construction.
    - Disinfection is also recommended for well systems that experience problems with iron bacteria or sulphate-reducing bacteria.

Q

Name the antiseptic used for udder disinfection and when/how is it applied during milking?

A
  • Antiseptics used: Chlorhexidine digluconate + lactic acid, Free iodine, Bradophen solution, Benzalkonium chloride
  • Before milking:
    1. Washing with warm water
    2. Disinfection with diluted iodophor
  • After milking: 3-fold dilution of concentrated iodophor-, chlorhexidine or Bradophen solution (form thin film layer on the skin)
  • Disinfection is applied to every teat by a teat cup. The udder after disinfection is wiped with a disposable wipes before milking. But after milking the udder is not wiped for the formation of the thin film layer. The same substances are used in udder disinfection but before milking the concentration is 2-3%. After milking the concentration is 20-40%.

Surgical hand disinfection: process

A

–Goal: destruction of the temporary and inactivation permanent (residual) microflora of the hand and the forearm skin
– Process:
• Nail cleaning
• Handwash
• Rinse
• Disinfection
• Rinse
• Drying
(Disinf - drying 3-5 times)
-Disinfection: Also performed by the 3 main substances Chlorhex. (prefered today), Bradophen, Pomidon-iodine - this is applied in an alcoholic solution: ethanol, methanol or most freq. isopropyl-alcohol - more active (remember this one!)
-Alcohol has a very quick action (other act slower) and evaporated from hands - benefits

– Process part 2: disinfectant should be used 5 times, covering the full surface of hands
• Required ammount: 25-40 ml
– Water based, detergent containing agent: should be rinsed by sterile water
– Alcohol based, detergent containing agent: rinse is forbidden, due to film-layer forming ability
