Kennel/cattery vacc protocols (Stone) Flashcards
Max health and production
- minimize stress (good and bad)
- ideal housing
- good nutrition
- parasite control
- disease prevention
Handle animals in order of….
- age and immune status
- puppies, preggos, young adults, adults, sick animals
Immunoprophylaxis
- enhanceet of a specific immune response in an attempt to protect an animal from disease
- vaccination
- passive transfer
Innate immunity
- exists prior to foreign Ag exposure
- physical barriers, phagocytic cells, natural killer cells
Acquired Immunity
- Develops upon a foregn Ag stimulation
- Humoral Immunity B-cells (antibodies)
- Cell mediated Immunity T-cells
- Secretory IgA
Passive Immunization
- artificial transfer of specific antibodies
- immediate protection
- allergic/immune reactions
- short-lived resistance
- transfer of disease possible
- oral, IM, IP, SQ
Active Immunization
- give an Ag to produce an immune response
- costs less than passive immunization
- takes time to produce immunity
- long lived immunity
- months, years, life
Maternal Antibodies
- Colostral antibodies: 82-98%
