Caused by microorganisms and spread rapidly from one individual to another

Answer 6

Contagious infectious disease

Question 7

Disease which result from injury, genetic abnormalities, ingestion of toxic material, or poor nutrition. MICROORGANISMS ARE NOT INVOLVED

Answer 7

Noninfectious disease

Question 8

Veterinarian assisted planning, sanitation, proper nutrition, source of livestock, proper use of biological and pharmaceuticals, and minimizing stress

Answer 8

Components of a heard health program

Question 9

Most veterinarians are familiar with the disease and health problems in the producers area. Can be useful in putting together a health management plan. In most cases its more economical to help design a plan vs having to treat animals later

Answer 9

Veterinarian Assisted planning

Question 10

What can proper sanitation practices do?

Answer 10

Reduce exposure to pathogens

Question 15

Used primarily in the prevention of disease

Answer 15

Answer 16

Immunity

Question 17

What are the two types of immunity?

Answer 17

Active immunity and Passive immunity

Question 18

Stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies

Answer 18

Antigens

Question 19

Answer 19

Antibodies

Question 20

What contain antigens

Answer 20

Vaccines

Question 21

What are the three types of vaccines

Answer 21

Killed Vaccines, Modified live vaccines, ad Attenuated (chemically altered) vaccinces

Question 22

Dead Microorganism of their parts are used to stimulate the immune system

Answer 22

Killed vaccine

Question 23

Rarely cause abortions, have a stable shelf life, microbes can’t reproduce so they can’t cause the disease

Answer 23

Advantages of killed vaccines

Question 24

Cost (compared to MLV), slower and shorter immune response, require a booster

Answer 24

Disadvantages of killed vaccines

Question 25

Contains a modified form of the microorganism that allows for reproduction without fully initiated the disease

Answer 25

Modified live vaccine

Question 26

Cost less than killed vaccines, produce quicker and longer immune response, few require a booster

Answer 26

Advantages of Modified live vaccine

Question 27

Once rehydrated the vaccine is sensitive to temperature changes, exposure to sunlight, disinfectants, may cause abortions, animals with weak immune systems may become sick.

Answer 27

Disadvantages of Modified live vaccine

Question 28

Are affective when administered directly to the mucosal membrane (nasally)

Answer 28

Attenuated vaccines

Question 29

Don’t cause animals to get sick and stimulate immune system faster and longer

Answer 29

Advantages of attenuated vaccines
