1 Animal Science: It s a Zoo Best Practices to Minimize Risk in the Animal Science Classroom Amanda Thomson, Middletown High School August 23, 2016

2 Some Recent Headlines: Have any of your programs come under scrutiny?

3 Today s Objectives: Discuss Industry Standards that can be used to design animal care programs Share classroom & lab management best practices

4 Part I: Industry Resources

5 Animal Welfare Act Enforced by APHIS of USDA. Technically, schools are considered a Research Facility: School Laboratories: Elementary, secondary, and all other schools below the college level are by law exempt from registration. BUT: Striving to achieve these minimum standards of can help with facility design, set up, and animal care. Prepares students to work in industry *Beware an open campus :schools with open access to animals OR that charge $ may need to register as an Exhibitor

6 THe GUides: Guide for the Care & Use of Laboratory Animals (NRC) Guide for the Care & Use of Agricultural Animals in Agricultural Research and Teaching (Federation of Animal Science Societies) Used by AALAC as the Primary Standards to evaluate animal care & use programs

7 CT Department of Agriculture Regulations for licensed Pet Facilities including: Pet Shops Boarding/Training Facilities Groomers Commercial Kennels Ag Centers are exempt from licensing unless we offer these services commercially However, regulations are helpful references; indicate everything from required grooming equipment to height/type of kennel fencing. Contact Animal Control division for more info

8 PIJAC Publish Animal Care Guidelines Geared towards retail pet industry Especially useful for species not addressed in the Guides

9 Certified Humane Dedicated to improving the lives of farm animals in food production from birth to slaughter Contact Devon O Keefe or visit for more info.

10 Animal Assisted Activities and Therapies Consider integration of registered Pet Partners programs Educational & experiential value for students, provides insurance, covers multiple species

11 Part II: Best Practices

12 Lesson 1: Paperwork! Document where & when your animals came! Your district may have donation forms Foster Care contracts for animal placement with students Keep an animal care/lab log Identify which students performed which tasks Record what was done with animals when Keep health records, especially regarding vaccines Consult your local veterinarian for species-appropriate preventative health programs, including: Vaccines Health Screenings

13 LEsson 2: Storage A place for everything, and everything in it s place! All feed, bedding stored off the floor Sealed/closed containers (no open bags) Liquids stored below feed Clear labels If storing pharmaceuticals, must be in a fridge labeled not for food consumption

14 COmpare these two feed storage areas:

15 LEsson 3: Facilities HVAC requirements from the Guides Facilities must be maintained No porous surfaces/sharp edges Posted emergency contact info Enclosures cleaned every 24 hours Consider a double fence Garbage/manure out every day! I love my NestCam! :)

16 LEsson 4: Managing Students Clear expectations for behavior & work ethic Consistent expectations regarding PPE in animal labs Change of clothes, lab coat, coveralls Change of shoes/boots or shoe covers Eye protection/gloves (match industry standard?) Clear assignments & records of student tasks Training/supervision

17 Moving forward: Incorporate enrichment into animal care program Create written SOP s/best Practices for animal care, citing industry guidelines Involve students, stakeholders in discussion Consult with local veterinarian, school risk management personnel

18 Questions/Comments? Feel free to contact me: Thank you and have a great school year!
