Animal Health Program Flashcards
refers to the physiological well being of an animal
animal health
defined as an illness, one of the manor factors that affect animal health
disease
is an abnormal deviation from the healthy state of the animal
disease
refers to the objective manifestation of the disease
clinical signs
subjective manifestation of disease by the animal
symptoms
a name given to a disease so that each doctor means the same syndrome
diagnosis
is a forecast of the progress of the disease
prognosis
animal that harbors the parasite
host
where the parasite will exert its harmful effects
final host
an animal that temporarily harbors the immature stage of the parasite
intermediate host
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
morbidity rate
percentage of the affected animals that die
mortality rate
healthy livestock:
contentment
alertness
chewing of cud (ruminants)
sleek coat
normal feces, urine, temp
unhealthy livestock:
loss of appetite
rough hair coat
dull eyes
high temp
signs of pain and distress
lethargy
lack of appetite
increased vocalization
aggression
self mutilation
classification of disease occurrence in a place
epidemic
pandemic
endemic
enzootic disease
affects a particular community
epidemic
widespread affecting the whole world
pandemic
peculiar to a certain region or people, constantly in any particular locality
endemic
pertaining to disease afflicting animals in a limited district
enzootic disease
classification of disease based on its course
peracute
acute
subacute
chronic
disease recourse, the animal dies w/o apparent symptoms
peracute
sudden onsent of severe symptoms and is usually fatal to the animal
acute
between chronic and acute
subacute
animal suffers from the disease for a long period of time
chronic
classification of disease based on the causative agent
- infectious disease
- mechanical disease
- physical disease
- congenital disease
- poisoning
- genetic disease
- hormonal imbalance
- malnutrition
- zoonotic disease
capable of being transmitted from one animal to another
infectious disease
cause by mechanical forces
mechanical disease
due to physical forces (earth, wind, fire)
physical disease
may be due to various factors affecting the gestation period of dam
congenital disease
these diseases already affect the individual animal even before born
congenital disease
due to chemical substances ingested by the animal
poisoning
due to the effect of genes of the animals
genetic diseases
a deficiency or insufficiency of hormones produced by the body
hormonal imbalance
the deficiency of food nutrients
malnutrition
disease which can be transmitted from animals to man (ex. rabies)
zoonotic disease
zoonotic diseases
rabies
tuberculosis
leptospirosis
brucellosis
application of proper breeding principles and diff proper management practices
husbandry aspect
minimize contact between disease agents and the animal
veterinary aspect
is a planned and specific health schedule incorporating vaccinations and breeding management
herd or flock health program
is a plan of measures and practices included to the health program
biosecurity
general preventive measures against disease
- sanitation
- disinfection
- vaccinations
- judicious use of drugs
- nutrition
- quarantine
- genetic improvement
- proper housing and equipment
- judicious culling
- deworming
- control of disease vectors and carriers
the application of sanitary measures
sanitation
