This SCRUB Mini Kit Instructor Guide was created as a part of a Mini Kit which adapted and expanded 3 activities from the original SCRUB: Science Creates Real Understanding of Biosecurity curriculum developed through a collaboration between Dr. Betsy Greene, University of Arizona, and Dr. Kris Hiney, Oklahoma State University.

This new variation combines existing activities with new scenarios related to emerging livestock diseases in the United States including two disease scenario examples involving the ongoing issues related to High Path Avian Influenza (HPAI) in both cattle and poultry operations. The full curriculum is available for any species of interest (livestock, small stock, horses, etc.). To access the full SCRUB curriculum go to https://extension.arizona.edu/SCRUB

Additionally, the Mini Kit contains almost everything needed to conduct three of the most popular and easy-to-do activities from the original curriculum, for up to 10 participants, or teams (SCRUB Mini Kit Contents, page 12). All materials/items, directions, activities, and a copy of any hand outs are self-contained in a small, portable, zippered lunch style bag. This gives instructors an opportunity to try out activities from the larger complete curriculum.
