A. AGO requires that all animals have left the site and the animal area is cleansed and disinfected before the next gathering commences. However, in a one-off situation like this common sense should prevail. It may be sensible to isolate the animal and cleanse and disinfect the premises for the next gathering. However, the Local Authority enforce AGO and it is important to liaise with them in order to resolve this type of situation satisfactorily.
