In the world of animal health, biosecurity is more than a protocol – it’s a commitment to safeguarding the welfare of animals, people, and the environment. Recognising this, Byotrol has launched a new CPD-accredited biosecurity training course for users of its ANIGENE veterinary surface disinfectant. This free, flexible online course is designed to provide essential knowledge, helping animal health professionals meet their continuing professional development (CPD) requirements.
Why Biosecurity Training Matters
In bustling veterinary or animal care settings, thorough biosecurity can sometimes fall down the list of priorities. But as Byotrol’s experts explain, a detailed understanding of safe disinfectant use is crucial. Disinfectants differ significantly in their application, risks, and effectiveness, and using them correctly can prevent disease outbreaks, reduce risks to human and animal health, and avoid environmental harm. Proper biosecurity training promotes the responsible use of these powerful products, preventing misuse that could lead to harmful consequences.
About the ANIGENE Training Course
Byotrol’s new biosecurity course offers 2 hours of CPD credit and provides an accessible and comprehensive educational experience. It’s remotely accessible and includes video presentations, voiceovers, and downloadable resources. This course is tailored to fit the busy schedules of animal health professionals, allowing them to gain essential skills and insights at their own pace.
For many in the animal health industry, this type of training has traditionally been difficult to access due to time constraints, location, or cost. Byotrol’s course eliminates these barriers, offering free, expert-led training that can be completed anytime, anywhere. As a result, users can confidently handle disinfectants like ANIGENE, ensuring both efficacy and safety.
Environmental and Economic Benefits
Biosecurity isn’t just a regulatory or industry requirement; it’s a sustainable practice. Proper training reduces the likelihood of product waste due to under- or over-dilution, cutting down on environmental impact and saving valuable resources. Knowing the right dilution rates and protective equipment for each task minimizes health risks, such as skin irritation or eye damage, that can occur with improper disinfectant use.
The Industry Response
Jane Kiely, Byotrol’s Head of Marketing, highlights the value of this training: “Providing end-users with thorough training is essential for the safe, sustainable, and effective use of disinfectants. Our course aims to improve biosecurity compliance and reduce environmental impact by ensuring ANIGENE users understand the risks and benefits of appropriate disinfectant use.”
Stacey Bullock, Veterinary Nursing Quality Manager at LANTRA, shared her enthusiasm, calling it an ideal resource for industry newcomers and a valuable addition to any animal care induction program. “I would love to see this feature on induction checklists in every part of the animal industry!” she said. “It’s a great starting point for infection control advocates and those developing SOPs and protocols in practice.”
