Husbandry Flashcards
Passive-short lived
Maternal antibodies passed from mum these can interfere with vaccinations so we vaccs after the maternally immunity has weaned.
Administration of antiserum contains antibodies to fight pathogens
Maternal immunity
Colostrum _ the initial mammary secretion. Absorbed from intestines for 24- 48 hours after birth.
Transition from colostrum to milk production can take up to 6 days.
Immunoglobulins
Provide maternal or passive immunity
Level of immunoglobulins received from the colostrum depends on ?
Absolute titre of the dam ( vaccination status of mum)
Quantity received during nursing ( big litters les colostrum)
Acquired Immunity
Naturally animals are exposed to pathogens and its immune system develops antibodies against that pathogen.
If the animal is exposed to the same pathogen again it will already have means to fight that pathogen
Active
Vaccinations an animal is exposed to a foreign antigen associated with s specific infection and acquires immunity to the infection.
If the animal is exposed to the same infection again it will have the means to fight it.
Humoral
B lymphocytes (b for bone marrow) develop into plasma cells that manufacture antibodies composed of immunoglobulins that attack the antigens (a substance that evokes the production of antibodies)
Cellular immunity
Does not involve antibodies instead it is associated with the activity of t lymphocytes (t cells) which mature in the thymus. Sends messages to the immune system and coordinates the attack
Cytotoxic T cells
Kills infected cells
Suppressor T cells
Keeps the immune system in check so an over reaction doesn’t occur
Attenuated or live
Usually made of strains of the pathogen that has been weakened so they cause disease in the animals good cellular and humoral immunity is stimulated
Inactive or killed
Made of adjuvant an agent that stimulated the immune system to fight the infection
Crown tooth
The crown is usually covered by enamel and meets the root at cemento enermal junction
Root tooth
Teeth may have one or more roots. At the end of the roof is the apex which has a multiply camel delta Forman. This area is were the nerves and blood vessels travel to the pump. (Apical)
Alveolar bone
The roots are encased in the alveolar process of the jaw. The process comprises of alveolar bone, trabecular and compact bone.
