 6 Methods of Disease
Control
1. Cleanliness
- Recognized as the
antithesis of filth; the latter
is intimately related to
disease devolvement .
2. Disinfection
- Destruction of
microorganisms either by
physical or chemical
means.
A. Physical methods of
disinfection
1. SUNLIGHT
- effective germicide in the universe. It is
deadly to germs and their spores if it can
reach them.
2. HEAT
-deadly to all forms of life if applied in sufficient
concentration such as that produced by fire or in
the form of steam under pressure and scalding
water.
3. ELECTRICITY
-power to free elements from chemical compounds
such as chlorine from common salt, or direct action.
4. Rays and waves
-Roentgen rays (X-rays), cathode rays, radium, sonic
and super-sonic waves are believed to be bactericidal
although contradicted by some.
5. Refrigeration
-Refrigeration for 20 days at a temperature of 5°F will
destroy small parasites like the trichina in pork.
B. Chemical Disinfectants
1. Soap
-cleans and tends to dissolve natural,
protective,greasy coating. Penetrating action of
antiseptic agent.
2. Lye( NaOH)
-disinfectant against viruses and some bacteria.
3. Lime
-good disinfectant on manure or other animals
discharge.
4. Carbolic Acid or Phenol
-effective disinfectant against all germs
but extremely poisonous and not safe
to have it in the premises.

5. Formaldehyde
-powerful disenfectant,used under good
condition of heat and moisture.
C. Desirable Features of
a Good Disinfectant
1. Possesses high germicidal power,
even in dilute solution
2. Relatively stable in the presence of
organic matter.
3. Homogeneous in composition.
4. Dissolve in all proportions in water.
5. Non-poisonous to man and to higher
animals.
6. Non-corrosive, i.e. not attack metals,
injure fabrics, leave stains or bleach color.
7. Has a high penetrating effect.
8. Low in cost; cost must not be judged by
volume but its killing power.
9. Has the power to dissolve or remove
grease and all kinds of dirt.
10. Combines with and destroys malodorous
substances; it does not have a disagreeable
odor.
D. Methods of Applying
Chemical Disinfectants:
1. By means of spray pump
2. By use of white large whitewash
brush
3. By continuous irrigation
4. By wiping off badly infected wound
5. By use of antiseptic

6. By fumigation

7. Applied in the form of dried

powder
6 Methods of Disease
Control
3. Quarantine
-derived from the Italian
word QUARANTA'"forty".
-isolation of animals sick
with contagious disease.
4. Pasture Rotation
-practical and important
method of control.
-system of change of land
areas from pasturage to
crop production .
-break the life cycle of
parasite
5. Vaccination
-important adjunct in
the control of many
livestock disease.
-high in specific
antigen content or in
the case of passive
immunization .
6. Destroy ailing animals
and disposal of animal
carcasses
-Destroying deseased
animals having low value or
chronically and incurable
I'll.
-sanitary precaution worthy
of widest application.
Animal Disease prevention The
suggested caution are:

1. Don't dispose of a carcass by disposting it

in or near a scream of flowing water,
because this will carry infection points down
stream.
2. Don't use carcasses for animal feeds
because there is too much danger than an
infection in responsible for the death and by
using it for animal feed, it may infect the
latter.
3. Don't open a carcass fo an autopsy or
other purposes iñunless this has the
approval of a graute veterinarian.
4. Don't permit an animal dead of a
contagious disease to remain so thag
biting insecy can reach it as these
animald are usually loaded with infection.
 Conclusion:
The most sanitary method of destroying carcasses is to
burn them, preferably close to the site of their death,
without dragging them anymore than is absolutely
necessary.
On the other hand, the most common method of
carcass disposal is by burial. This is a reasonably safe
method of done deepy enought and in soil from which
there is no drainage to neighboring places.
In the larger centers of population, rendering plant is
usually available for tje industrial utilization of dead
animals.
