Q

WHAT IS THE FERGUSON REFLEX?

A

OCCURS IN STAGE 2 PARTURITION WHERE THE FETUS PUSHES AGAINST THE CERVIX AND ACTIVATES THE STRETCH RECEPTORS THAT CAUSE CONTRACTION OF THE UTERUS

Q

LIST THREE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A FOLLICULAR CYST AND LUTEAL CYST

A

FOLLICULAR: LARGER, THIN WALLED, RUPTURE EASILY.
LUTEAL: SMALLER, THICK WALLED, DOESNT RUPTURE AS EASY

  1. IGH OESTROGEN CONCENTRATION
  2. LOW GnRH
  3. POST PARTUM PERIOD…DAY 15-45
  4. HEREDITARY…GENETICS …SO DONT BREED

Q

WHAT IS A “ SEQUELAE” TO A FOLLICULAR CYST?

A

CYSTIC FOLLICULAR DEGENERATION.
A THIS WALLED CYST WITH EARLY SIGNS OF LEUTENIZATION
THE CONTRALATERAL OVARY COULD HAVE NORMAL STRUCTURES

Q

LIST THREE CLINICAL SIGNS ASSOCIATED WITH CYSTIC OVARIAN DISEASE

A
  1. sacrosciatic relaxation…….chronic pelvic ligament relaxation…elevated tail head…called sterility hump:)…..all happens cuz of chronic FOLLICULAR degeneration
  2. nymphomania…frequent behavioural estrous….use them for heat detection
  3. anaestrous

Q

DDX for CYSTIC OVARIAN disease

A
  • OVARIAN abscess…..shouldn’t affect cyclicity
  • hydrosalpinx ….horn filled with fluid……can only reproduce with CONTRALATERAL horn
  • CYSTIC granulosa cell tumour

Q

describe the ideal treatment plan for a heifer with CYSTIC OVARIAN disease.
state one thing that SHOULD NOT be done.

A

GnRH- 100micrograms…….followed by 25mgs of prostaglandin in 10-14 days
progesterone can be used instead of GnRH

Try your best not to RUPTURE the cyst….it can haemorrhage and cause adhesions

Q

when should you do a post-partum check on any cow?

A

25-30 days post parturition.
tell the farmer:
- she’s good to go
- she’s dirty…leave her for more time to cycle again
- she needs treatment

Q

when does maternal recognition occur?

A

14 days into pregnancy
- if baby lost before MR……she will cycle like normal
- if the baby lost after MR…… she would take longer to return to cycle….take a while before you see estrous

Q

what is the #1 cause of poor fertility in dairy cattle? be specific

17
Q

what is the recommended treatment for a persistant CL

A
  • prostaglandin/progesterone
  • CIDr
18
Q

who or what is a fremartin?

A

a sterile heifer resulting from a boy/girl twin

19
Q

what anatomical medium is responsible for free martinis?

A
  • the common chorion
  • plus the ovaries form after testes
20
Q

what two hormones are responsible for the sterility in a freemartin heifer?

A
  • testosterone
  • antimullerian hormone
21
Q

what 2 hormones are responsible for the ‘bullish’ characteristics in a freemartin heifer?

A
  • testosteron
  • androstenedione
22
Q

is a freemartin possible in a singleton birth?

A

yupzz!
if there were two and one died and was reabsorbed. This is because anastomosis occurs at day 30 and day 40 is when the testis is formed. If death of the male occurs soon after that, the female would have already been exposed to testosterone.

23
Q

diagnose a freemartin based on vaginal length.
state 2 other methods of diagoses

A

Calves- 5-6 cm (FM) vs 13-15 cm in a normal animal

Adults- 8-10 cm (FM) vs 30 cm in a normal animal

typically use a glass rod to measure length.
2 other methods: sex chromosome chimerism in PCR; history/clinical signs

24
Q

what is the ideal 1st calving age?

A

24 months

25
Q

list 3 bacterial causes of SUBFERTILITY in cattle (genus and species!)

A
  1. campylobacter fetus veneralis
  2. histophilus somnii
  3. Chlamydia psittaci
26
Q

list 4 causes of endometritis

A
  1. campylobacter fetus veneralis
  2. Chlamydia psittaci
  3. histophilus somnii…could cause salpingitis too
  4. tritrichomonus fetus…..causes vaginitis too
27
Q

how does the heifer get campylobacter fetus veneralis ?

A

from the bull…he’s a carrier

28
Q

concerning tritrichomonus fetus:
1. state 3 control methods
2. state the stage of embryonic death
3. state the transmission issue
4. state the mode of diagnosis
5. state a common sequelae

A
  1. use younger bulls/ cull carrier bulls……AI……vaccine
  2. late stage embryonic death
  3. bulls are asymptomatic…usually <3yrs.
  4. diagnosis: dark field microscopy…look for the 3 anterior flagella
  5. sequela: pyometra
29
Q

what is the aetiological agent of BVD?

A

pestivirus

30
Q

what are the two forms of BVD?

A
  • cytopathic
  • non-cytopathic
31
Q

at what point of gestation are calves infected with BVD leading to persistent infection?

A

day 40-125
day 1-24 in early pregnancy
day 90-120- in-utero infection

32
Q

how do persistently infected calves test…diagnose in cases of BVD?

A

antibody negative
virus positive

33
Q

which disease is the fatal form of BVD?

A

mucosal disease

34
Q

at what age do the clinical signs of mucosal disease in calves manifest?

A

6-18 months

35
Q

list 4 clinical signs associated with mucosal disease….be specific

A
  1. anorexia
  2. biphasic fever (2 spikes of fever >105 degrees Celsius)
  3. diarrhea…after second spike
  4. GI erosion after second spike
36
Q

prevention methods for BVD?

A
  • cull persistently infected: virus positive; antibody negative
  • vaccination
37
Q

what aspect of the pregnancy does bluetongue affect?

A

hatched blastocyst

38
Q

how are the following controlled?
- blutongue
- BOVINE herpes virus 1

A
  • bluetongue: control culicoides vector
  • BOVINE herpes virus 1: vaccinate
39
Q

give 2 causes of early embryonic death

A

BOVINE herpes virus 1
histophilus somnii

40
Q

how is BOVINE herpes virus 1 transmitted?

A
  • veneral
  • respiratory
