2. Conway vet clinic suggests some measures regarding the buildings,
equipment and vehicles. It is important to keep the vehicles and
trailers clean and disinfect them inside and out preferably with a
power hose. Attention should be paid to the areas where dirt may be
hidden e.g. wheel arches. In addition, all the shared and hired
equipment must be cleaned and disinfected before and after use.
As we all know that used bedding can cause contamination through
urine, faeces, blood and so on it should be disposed of away from
livestock, humans and watercourses and fresh, clean and dry
bedding should be added regularly to the animals kept indoors. The
buildings and equipment should also be cleaned and disinfected
after use by livestock. Moreover, it is also important to dispose of
safely used equipment such as disposable clothing, and veterinary
treatments like syringes.
3. Myrtle Beach animal clinic believes that various diseases can be
spread by contaminated feed and water. The risk can be minimized
by using mains water wherever possible, having the water bowls or
drinkers above the level to prevent from faecal contamination,
avoiding contamination of watercourses, cleaning feed and water
troughs regularly, discouraging dogs and cats from walking in feed
troughs, keeping feed in a clean and dry store, keeping the feed
stores covered and shut down to ensure no access by dogs, cats,
vermin and wildlife, disposing of old or soiled feed safely, and
avoiding swill feeding.
