ZOONOSIS
Whats Zoonosis ? Zoonosis is an infection or
infestation shared in nature by humans and
animals. Zoonoses- transmission of the
infectious agent to humans from an ongoing
reservoir life cycle in animals, without the
permanent establishment of a new life cycle in
humans. Animals raised on farms that are well
managed (good housing, hygienic conditions , and
balanced diet) on most occasions are free of
zoonotic diseases that occur naturally in animals
4
ZOONOSIS
Zoonotic agents (bacteria,
viruses, and parasites)

• Zoonotic agents prevalent in few animal
  operations (lt 5)

  operations (1-50)

• Listeria monocytogenes
• Clostridial spp.
• Path. Escherichia coli
• Cryptospordia

• Zoonotic agents ALMOST non existent in animal
  operations

products, egg products Transmission
Cross-contamination, human contamination, sewage
pollution of coastal waters Control Proper
cooking, temperature, preventing
cross-contamination, personal hygiene
40
How does Salmonella gain access to a farm ?
Most important sources of infection
Replacement calves
trucks heifer/ cows
birds /pests feed water
visitors

Personal hygiene practices on farm for
preventing illnesses
Wash hands with soap and water before and
after 1. Attending sick animals 2. Handling
animals 3. Manure handling
Dress and boots 1. Change into
farm boots on the farm 2. Wash farm boots
regularly 3. Leave farm boots on the farm
4. Wash and disinfect farm clothes
IF available shower before leaving the farm
Avoid drinking and eating on animal housing units
