Exam 5 - Livestock Flashcards
Explain why no single herd vaccination program will work for all cattle
Different management styles and production systems will mean different exposures and varying risk factors
Provide reasons why vaccinated cattle can still develop disease
stress
vaccine type used
not following label
maternal ab interference
extra-label vx in livestock are only under certain conditions under the _____ and what are the conditions?
AMDUCA
dose, freq, booster, safety and efficacy not established
extended withdrawal times
veterinary products
vaccine recommendation in small ruminants:
core vx?
don’t vx within __ days of slaughter?
clostridium perfrigens C& D + Tetanus
21 days
why should vx be given SQ in sheep/goats?
meat quality assurance
risk factors of C. perfrigens and tetanus?
high grain diet
cx, tail docking
wounds
when should you vaccine breeding does/ewes?
q 6-12 months
vx 3-4 wks prior to parturition to increase colostral ab
when to vx kids/lambs from vx dams
9-12 wks of age
booster 3-4 wks later
when to vx kids/lambs from unvaccinated dam or possible/known FPT
1-3 wks of age
3-4 wks later booster
4 weeks later booster again
when should you vx sheep/goats for CL?
only on farms with endemic disease
when should you vx sheep/goats for contagious ecthyma? how do you give it?
only in herds with endemic disease or newly introduced
topical
vaccine recommendation in camelids
all extra-labeled
CDT, rabies +/- WNV
vaccine recommendation in pet pigs
erysipelas
rabies
leptospirosis
tetanus
Describe the difference between BVDV biotype and genotype
noncytopathic biotype is the predominant one transmitted naturally (PI)
BVDV Type I has both cytopathic and non-cytopathic
BVDV Type II has both cytopathic and non-cytopathic - noncytopathic causes thrombocytopenia
Compare and contrast acute (transient) BVDV infection, persistent BVDV infection, and mucosal disease
acute - naive animals exposed, mostly subclinical, can be immunosuppressed
PI - non-cytopathic infection during 30-125 days of gestation, clinically normal but weak/poor/immunosuppressed, extreme shedders
mucosal disease - spontaneous mutation in young PI animals = severe erosions/ulcers
to be persistently infected, cow must be infected with BVDV during what days of gestation
30-125 days
congenital defects can occur if the cow is infected with BVDV during what days of gestation
80-180 days
List diagnostic tests that can be used to identify acute (transient) infection and persistent BVDV infection
acute - VI, PCR, IHC, serology
PI - ear notch antigen capture ELISA or IHC
Outline testing strategies and management practices for a comprehensive BVDV control program in cattle
testing - herd screening via serology
management - eliminate the source, test, quarantine and vaccinate
