Use the whole card. The action stays attached to what must be observed and recorded, plus the nearest inference or action the current guidance cannot support.

Observe first

Count affected, unaffected, dead and missing animals and check oxygen, temperature, measured water, recent inputs and exact body findings.

First action

Stop a known continuing exposure when safe, stabilize measurable system hazards and preserve clear observations for qualified help.

Record next

Record onset, denominator, water and method, recent changes, photographs, behavior, deaths, isolation and response to each action.

Stop boundary

Do not diagnose or dose from a photograph, nickname or single sign. Escalate when mortality continues or welfare is deteriorating.
