6. Risks with Animals EQ: What are “big” risks when working with animals?

7. Warm-Up What does this photo mean to you?

8. Health Risks Zoonosis: diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans –Example Rabies An acute, infectious, often fatal viral disease of most warm-blooded animals, especially wolves, cats, and dogs, that attacks the central nervous system and is transmitted by the bite of infected animals.disease

9. Video: History and Animal Science

10. Video Qs for Discussion In the 1800s how was it believed you received a disease? What happened to the chickens? How did they test their theory about chicken cholera? Why did Pasteur study disease? What did they inject the chickens with the first time? The second time? What was the result? What had they discovered? What do they let Pasteur do to the sheep? What was the result? What happened to the shepherd boy? How did Pasteur cure the sick boy? Explain why this was a HUGE achievement (BIG DEAL!) for health science in humans and animals.

11. Health Risks Hookworm/Round worms –Parasites: organisms that live with or on another host. Host provides the sustenance (food) Infected through contact with feces

12. Health Risks Taxoplasma: parasite contracted by humans in contact with handling raw meat and cat litter

13. Health Risks Ring Worm: skin disease caused by a fungus Spread through contact with infected animals, and articles

14. Health Risks Salmonella: bacteria carried by many animals (particularly reptiles, puppies) Infected through contact with raw meat, animal, or feces.

15. Health Risks Lyme Disease –Viral infection as result of a tick bite from an infected tick

16. Activity: Fishbone on Disease Use your book to fill in your fishbone worksheet For each illness presented outline the cause, and transmission (how it spreads to humans) which result in health risks to humans

17. Review: Risks Vocab you learned: –Parasite, zoonosis Answer your Daily EQ: –What are some big risks when working with animals? Think about it: –What is a good way to combat/prevent risks? Next Class: Safety Practices

18. Safety Practices with Animals EQ: What are common ways to practice animal safety?

19. Warm Up What is happening? What is being prevented?

20. Practices To Prevent Health Risks –Always properly wash your hands after handling an animal, any equipment etc –Wash for 30 seconds OR Sing a verse of Old McDonald while you wash!

21. Safety! What does it mean? Definition: a device or practice designed to prevent injury or accidents What does this mean to us? Practice safety every day!

22. Practices To Prevent injury –Restraints: keep under control –Types Ropes Poles Cages and Carriers Muzzles E- collar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KKvciCEIHs&feature= relatedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KKvciCEIHs&feature= related

23. Activity Break! For each animal in the lab –Explain in your own words How do you handle that animal? –Give it in steps! Why do you need to handle this animal in this way? –Is there something special about this animal that requires you to handle it in a special way? What should you be worried about when handling this animal? Animals in the lab –Chinchilla –Mouse –Guinea Pig –Gerbil –Rabbit

24. Review: Practices Vocab you learned: –Restraint, Safety Answer your Daily EQ: –What are ways to practice animal safety? Think about it: –What types of safety practices do you already know? Next Class: Safety Guidelines

25. Safety Guidelines with Animals EQ: What are common animal safety guidelines?

26. Warm Up What are these? What purpose do these serve?

27. Basic Guidelines for Animal Safety 1. Always be dressed appropriately

28. Guidelines 2. Always WASH –Hands, Clothes, Equipment

29. Guidelines Be smart about contamination –No dirty hands on your face –Don’t eat or drink around animals

30. Guidelines 3. Throw it away! –Dispose of trash properly!

31. Guidelines 4. Use your knowledge –Learn proper handling techniques –Know what to do in case of emergency First Aide!

32. Activity Break! Make an ACRONYM –A What!? –Acronym: a word formed from the initial letters of the several words in the name –Example: Stop risks from Animal bites or Feces and urine. Educate yourself about Transmission to protect Yourself.

33. Review: Guidelines Vocab you learned: –Guideline Answer your daily EQ: –What are common animal safety guidelines? Think about it: –How can we practice animal safety in our lab? Next Class: Working in our lab

34. Our Lab Procedures

35. KEEP IN MIND Misconduct with or around the animals is a Level II offense and will be written up. More hands make the work lighter –Perform your assigned task completely. –Tasks will be rotated weekly. Your performance will be evaluated. –Poor performance will result in no animal privileges.

36. Step 1: Receive you Animal You be broken up into groups of 2-4 students. The groups will be assigned a cage to clean. Each group will be required to complete each step correctly and completely before being evaluated by the teacher.

37. Removing your animal 1 student will be responsible for watching the animal once removed from the cage. –The animal is either held in the lap or placed in a holding container Acceptable holding containers include –Box, Ball (mice only), or Hide A Way house

38. Safe Handling of your Animal Rabbit Mice

39. Safe Handling of your Animal ALWAYS SUPPORT YOUR ANIMAL’S FULL WEIGHT!

Cover the top with meal worms (Only on Wednesday Rabbits –Top off gravity feed bins. Hand full of hay

45. Feeding your Animal Chinchilla –Fill bowl half full with pellets. Hand full of hay Guinea Pigs –Line the bottom of bowl with feed. Hand full of hay Birds –Fill bird seed container Ferrets –Fill feed container

46. Almost Done! Finally water your animal! Dump out the old water Run HOT water in the water bottle Dump out hot water Refill water bottle with cold water Place the water bottle properly in the cage

47. Take a Moment After the animal has been clean, fed, and watered: –Take a moment to observe your animal. Is it acting strangely? Does it appear to be in good health? No signs of pain or injury? Make sure ALL openings in the cage are secure. –Contact teacher immediately if there is a problem

48. Finishing Touches When animals are out, observe for health –Nails need to be cut? Lesions? Tender areas sensitive to pain? Report to teacher for evaluation of cage once completed Wait quietly until dismissed –You may “play” with your animal after you have been cleared by your teacher
