Q

ESBL

A

Extended-Spectrum Beta-lactamase (ESBL) are enzymes that confer resistance to most beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins, cephalosporins, and the monobactam aztreonam.

Infections with ESBL-producing organisms have been associated with poor outcomes.

27
Q

where does methane originate from?

A

from the break down of Cellulose and hemicellulose

methane originates form the rumen of ruminants, and the intestinal gases of mammals also contain methane. Considerable amounts of methane form from manure in anaerobic conditions.

Q

What should be the relative humidity range in closed animal facilities (pig and poultry farms), (%)?

A

40-75% (pig farms)

60-70% (poultry farms)

35
Q

A device for continuous monitoring of the air pressure is:

A

Barograph

36
Q

air velocity is measured by what device

A

Anemometer

37
Q

The optimum air velocity in cowsheds, piggeries and poultry houses are:

A

cowsheds → 0,3 - 1,0 m/s,
piggeries → 0,15 - 1,0 m/s,
poultry houses → 0,3 - 0,6 m/s

38
Q

What is the natural illumination relationship for an animal room?

A

The ratio of external light to the room lighting

39
Q

Lighting in a pig farm (slaughter pigs) during the day (9:00 to 17:00) must have a minimum of:

A

40 lx

40
Q

What is the maximum allowable total number of micro-organisms in the air of animal rooms (CFU / m3)?

A

(CFU – colony forming unit)

50,000 CFU/m3.

41
Q

Long and short wave radiation effects are variable.

which type do animals emit and which do they more readily absorb_

A

emit long wave
absorb more readily, short wave

42
Q

An organism needs ? of energy to evaporate 1 litre of water

A

2.4–2.5 MJ (580kcal)

43
Q

which NS stimulates sweating?

A

sympathetic

44
Q

which farm animals are capable of “proper” sweating?

A

horses

bovines can sweat but very little in comparison to very sweaty horses
small ruminants only sweat fractionally via their groin area

45
Q

where do sheep and goats sweat from?

A

groin

they also pant

46
Q

how do swine release excess heat?

A

Pigs technically have sweat glands, but don’t seem to sweat.
They can sweat through their snout.
They pant and strive to seek cool, moist environment.

47
Q

respiration rate of a dog panting hard?

A

300-350 respirations per minute

47
Q

how high can a cow’s respiration rate reach when attempting to rid body of excess heat?

A

up to 300 respirations per minute

ruminants pant with their mouths closed usually but when RR goes high they may open their mouth

48
Q

give an example of forced convection

A

increased ventilation

49
Q

what is a Thermoneutral zone

A

The thermoneutral zone is defined as the range of ambient temperatures where the body can maintain its core temperature solely through regulating dry heat loss, i.e., skin blood flow.

A living body can only maintain its core temperature when heat production and heat loss are balanced.

50
Q

what is a comfort zone in relation to thermoregulation

A

Comfort zone is the temperature of the surrounding environment, at
which no heat production or discharge is required on the part of the
organism to maintain stable body temperature.

51

what is NST

A

non-shivering thermogenesis

e.g. metabolic reactions, energy from brown adipose tissue in neonates

LCT

A

A

1 week

54
Q

max body temp’s for survival for mammals and birds?

A

mammals 42-43’C
birds 44- 45’C

55
Q

when does sweating stop?

A

at a relative humdiity of 100%

risk of hyperthermia!

56
Q

what is THI

A

Temperature Humidity Index

To account for the combined effects of relative humidity and
temperature, the temperature humidity index (THI) is widely
used to provide an accurate assessment of the effects of the
thermal environment on poultry and livestock.

calculated THI= (dry bulb temp °C) + (0.36 × dew point temp °C) + 41.2

57
Q

When the THI exceeds ?, the milk production and feed intake
begin to decrease;

A

72

temperature, the temperature humidity index (THI) is widely
used to provide an accurate assessment of the effects of the
thermal environment on poultry and livestock.

58
Q

When the THI exceeds ?, the milk production is seriously
affected;

A

78

To account for the combined effects of relative humidity and
temperature, the temperature humidity index (THI) is widely
used to provide an accurate assessment of the effects of the
thermal environment on poultry and livestock.

59
Q

When the THI rises above ?, there are significant losses in milk
production, cows show signs of severe stress and may
ultimately die.

A

82

To account for the combined effects of relative humidity and
temperature, the temperature humidity index (THI) is widely
used to provide an accurate assessment of the effects of the
thermal environment on poultry and livestock.

60
Q

what is considered high humidity

A

over 80%

Heat transfer is impeded (especially via evaporation)

61
Q

low humidity is considered?

A

<40% unadvisable

(suitable for humans 30–60%)

62
Q

Agricultural animals can tolerate ?- ? % relative humidity.

A

50-90%

Relative humidity in the animal facilities is supposed to be 40-70% (50-80%) at thermoneutral temperature.
