IBPSA INFECTIOUS DISEASE CLEANING STANDARDS

They provide standards for animal housing, vaccinations, cleaning/disinfection, hygiene, work clothing, food/water, housing/play, and reporting suspected/confirmed infections.

These standards were developed with Virox Animal Health and provide a wealth of information and a comprehensive plan that you can implement in your facility today.

VAULT YOUR BUSINESS TO SUCCESS! JOIN US AND LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR THRIVE ROUNDTABLE/ZOOM!

The IBPSA Thrive Master Group is a private group consisting only of Facility Owners and General Managers. It is an opportunity for these leaders to participate in targeted learning, network with each other, and help one another solve problems, plan, dream, and have a safe space to talk.

As we get ready for some exciting changes to Thrive in 2024, we wanted to open the group up to the public, so that you can meet the leaders and learn more. There will be a Thrive call (via Zoom) on Wednesday, December 13th at 1pm Central Time that is OPEN TO EVERYONE! You do not even need to be an IBPSA Member to participate. We hope you’ll join us; you can register at the following link:
