Q

Disease Control

A

Depends on understanding the driving ecological factors for each disease, and which combination of biosecurity, genetic selection and vaccines makes most economical and biological sense.

Q

Biosecurity

A

Minimizing introduction of pathogens, deleterious genes, or toxins into herd or flock

37
Q

Quarantine

A

40 days
Effective: short IP + obvious clinical signs in carriers (acute respiratory disease, acute diarrheal diseases, unthrifty animals)
Ineffective: carrier disease states (=carriers that appear healthy), infectious agents in normal animals

38
Q

Vaccines

A

Active immunity long lasting

39
Q

Immunoglobulin

A

Passive immunity, short duration, expensive

40
Q

Anamnestic

A

Immune system “remembers” exposure to agent in vaccine

41
Q

Do not assume protection until after…

A

2 weeks after 2nd shot of initial vaccine

42
Q

Enrofloxacin

A 
Broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone
Bacteriocidal
Not viruses, not parasites
Single high dose or multiple day
S/C administration
Don’t exceed 20 ml
43
Q

Disinfectants

A

Inactivate harmful infectious agents
Dependent on:
Type of organism (spores vs bacterial vs. viral)
Organic material (dirt, manure, milk, pus)
Appropriate contact time
Sufficient concentration
* LABELED effectiveness against target agent *
