vesicular stomatitis
this bacterium is a common food borne infection. Grown well in cold temps.
listeria

what are 2 causes of ear infections in our companion animals
yeast
ear mites
bacteria
list a symptom of leptospirosis disease in dogs, how is it transmitted and a prevention strategy for this disease
Symptoms: urinates all the time, dehydrated, lethargic
transmission: stagnant water and contact
prevention: vx
with respect to swine tased in a CAFO operation: consider gestation and farrowing crates separately, lis one advantage and one disadvantage each of this type of management tool in a swine operation.
Gestation: advantage- lower costs
disadvantage- ethical concerns
Farrowing: advantage- increase piglet survival
disadvantage- ethical concerns
list 2 considerations when moving from a CAFO type swine operation to a farm raised swine operation
sunburn
biosecurity
explain briefly the pathogenesis of rabies disease
infects animals, incubates, migrates to the spinal corn and brain, animal begins showing symptoms, death typically in 7-10 days
list a different symptom for each for cattle, horse and wildlife that might get you thinking a particular animal might be infected with rabies virus.
cattle: abnormal bellowing
horse: temperament change
wildlife (bats)- out in daylight or on the ground
encysted L4 stage causing gastric mucosal issue and emergence from GI tract
colic
excessive salvation in water bucket, quidding
dental issue
buccal/lingual suffices for sharp points
dental issue
90% of cases respond to medical therapy, 10% may require surgery
colic
intermittent extension flexion of the neck; often accompanied by excessive salvation and feed material coming out mouth and nose
choke
multiple symptoms seen; sole abscesses, tendon laxity, excessive hair growth, etc.
cushings
use of pergolide (dopamine agonist) medication given to manage this issue
cushings
impactions in folks and yearlings- precipitated by anthelmintic treatment
parasite/ deworming strategy
vomiting/diarrhea
feline panleukopenia
caused by a parvovirus
feline panleukopenia
persistently infected healthy appearing cats are the major resivoir
feline leukemia virus
virus can be transmitted vertically (inutero, milk)
feline leukemia virus
good vx in cats may develop lifelong immunity
feline panleukopenia
test prior to vx
feline leukemia virus
mucopurulent ocular discharge
canine distemper virus
hyperkeratosis of pads and nose
canine distemper virus
myocarditis
canine parvovirus
old dog encephalopathy
canine distemper
lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea (blood/mucous)
canine parvovirus
This disease is one of the leading deterrents to swine production; multiple etiologies (causes) for this disease
MMA
diamond lesions on the skin
erysipelas
one method of virus survival involves life cycle of swine lungworm
swine influenza
causative agent of this disease is the bacteria, bordatella bronchiseptica
atrophic rhinitis
occurs in early stages of lactation; 12-72 hrs post farrowing; total lack of milk production
MMA
a highly contagious enteric disease of swine characterized by vomiting severe diarrhea high morbidity and mortality in pigs under 2 weeks of age
TGE
pig to human transmission was demonstrated in 1970, 2009
swine influenza
5 topics of animal welfare
- animals exhibited to the public
- research and testing
- commercial sale of animals
- transporting animals commercially
- gestation crates
animals exhibited to the public
this is a concern because since a lot of the animals on display for the public are in zoos, it is much different than their natural habitat, so their welfare is important to keep them healthy and safe.
research and testing
a concern because I am against testing on animals. I think it is wrong to test on animals when there are possible ill or life threatening effects that we don’t know about
commercial sale of animals
animals that are produced for market are open to the potential for a lot of stress. this is why I think it is important to keep their welfare in mind to make sure they are being safely handles and processed.
transporting animals commercially
transporting animals long distances can dispose them to stress related illnesses
gestation crates
the confinement is a concern to me and I think there could be advancements in this area for some better practices
