I think you need to look at "NFPA 150 Standard on Fire and Life Safety in Animal Housing Facilities" also.
This standard establishes life and safety requirements for both humans and animals in all types of animal housing facilities where animals are kept for any purpose including barns, stables, kennels, animal shelters, veterinary facilities, zoos, laboratories, and racetracks. I don't know if there is any further guidance regarding your question in there but it's worth a look.
