Animal Health Program Flashcards
Refers to the physiological well being of an animal.
Animal Health
(Defined as an illness) one of the major factors that affect animal health.
Disease
Is concerned with those factors that may impair health, comfort, and productivity of the animals.
Animal Health Care
What are the factors affecting animal health?
Infectious diseases
Noninfectious diseases
Viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoans, internal and external parasite.
Infectious diseases
Genetic defects, nutritional deficiencies, metabolic disorders, and toxicities or poisonings.
Noninfectious diseases
Is an abnormal deviation from the healthy state of the animal.
Disease
Refers to the objective manifestation of the disease.
The manifestation of a disease as diagnosed or confirmed by a competent authority.
(Clinical) Signs
Subjective manifestation of disease by the animal
Symptoms
A name given to a disease so that each doctor means the same syndrome as every other veterinarian.
Diagnosis
Is a forecast of the progress of the disease affecting the animal.
Prognosis
The animal that harbors the parasite
Host
Where the parasite will exert its harmful effects and may also undergoes reproduction
Final host
An animal that temporarily harbors the immature stage of the parasite
Intermediate host
An organism that lives on or in another organism and usually causes harm to the latter
Parasite
Expressed as the percentage of animals which are clinically affected compared to the total number of animals to the same risk
Morbidity rate
The percentage of the affected animal that die
Mortality rate/ Fatality rate
Signs that indicate healthy livestock
•contentment
•alertness
•chewing of cud
•sleek coat
•bright eyes and pink eye membrane
•normal feces and urine
•normal temperature
•normal pulse rate
•normal respiration
Give some signs that indicates unhealthy livestock
- lost of appetite
- rough hair coat
- abnormal feces
- dull eyes
- high temperature
give some Signs of Pain and Distress
- Lethargy, restlessness
- Lack of appetite
- Increased aggression
- Guarded posture
- Self mutilation
- Intense rubbing
it affects a particular community or region
Epidemic
it widespread affecting the whole continent/world country
Pandemic
it peculiar to a certain region or people, disease that occur more or less Constantly in any particular locality.
endemic
pertaining to disease afflicting animals in a limited district.
Enzootic disease
give the Classification of disease based on its course
Peracute
Acute
Subacute
Chronic
disease recourse, the animal dies without apparent symptoms
Peracute
there is sudden onset of severe symptoms and is usually fatal to the animal
acute
it is Between chronic and acute
subacute
if the animal suffers from the disease for a long period
of time
chronic
give the Classification of Disease based on the causative agent
- Infectious disease
- Mechanical disease
- Physical disease
- Congenital disease
- Poisoning
- Genetic diseases
- Hormonal imbalance
- Malnutrition/ nutritional/Deficiency
- Zoonotic disease
is capable of being transmitted from one animal to another and is caused by living, harmful microorganisms.
Infectious disease
it caused by mechanical forces
the impact of the forces applied.
Push is an example
Mechanical disease
it is due to physical forces, earth, wind, fire, flood, extreme temperatures, environmental conditions.
physical disease
may be due to various factors affecting the gestation period of the dam. also it already affect the animal even before born.
Congenital disease
this is due to chemical substances ingested by the animal or toxins from harmful organisms.
Example: bee sting, venom,
poisoning
this is due to the effect of genes of the animals.
