Which of the following is NOT a step in sanitation protocols?

  1. Application of a disinfectant

  2. Removal of gross organic matter

  3. Feeding the animals

  4. Rinsing and drying surfaces

The correct answer is: Feeding the animals

Sanitation protocols in animal control settings are critical for maintaining health and safety standards. The correct answer, feeding the animals, is not considered a step in sanitation protocols because sanitation focuses on cleaning and disinfecting environments rather than the feeding or care of the animals themselves. Sanitation protocols typically include the application of disinfectants to eliminate pathogens, the removal of gross organic matter to ensure surfaces are clean before disinfection, and rinsing and drying surfaces to prepare them for the next cleaning cycle. Feeding animals, while an essential aspect of animal care, does not directly relate to the process of cleaning and maintaining sanitary conditions. Thus, it falls outside the scope of standard sanitation protocols.
