CLEANING AND DISINFECTION OF PREMISES. 



Disinfecting Crew. — After the animals are slaughtered 

 and buried, the infected premises should be cleaned and 

 disinfected without delay. A disinfecting crew consisting

 absence of the inspector in charge. 



Equipment of crew. — The inspector in charge of the 

 disinfecting crew, his assistant, and two nozzle men should

 and left on the premises, and before moving to another 

 farm or premises should be thoroughly fumigated. In 

 order to hasten the work of cleaning and disinfecting 

 infected premises, the inspector in charge of the disin-

 planning the work in advance and inducing the owners to 

 haul out the manure and clean the barns and outbuildings 

 preparatory to disinfection. 



All disinfecting crews should be supplied with a spray 

 pump, hose, etc., and disinfectants. (The strength in 

 which the various disinfectants should be prepared is 

 given in the regulations.) The equipment should also 

 include containers for carrying enough disinfectants for a 

 day's work. Milk cans for liquid disinfectants and a
