Midterm Flashcards
Dairy- calf concerns birth to 2-4 hours
colostrum, naval health
Dairy- offer grain to calves
day 3
Beef- Considerations for IM site choice
Most effective and least apt to damage muscle
Dairy- cell makeup of teat canal
Squamous epithelium and thick layer of keratin
Beef- 10 factors of calf survival
Maternal traits, GI dz, resp dz, other dz, dam lactation, udder status, milk production, trauma, climate, congenital defects
Why avoid liner slips
Causes milk droplets and air to rush toward another teat and if there is an organism, it can penetrate far enough into teat canal to cause mastitis
Dairy- qty of coliforms shed in milk
Low numbers
2 types of vax
Modified live/attenuated and inactivated/non-infectious/killed
Beef- public health goals
Food chain quality assurance, drug residue avoidance, microbial contamination avoidance. Health livestock=wholesome product
Beef- Determining factors of degree of parasitism
age, weather, environment, stocking rate, pasture management, parasite type
Dairy- 6 steps of mastitis control
Proper milking management, environmental control, dry cow therapy, milking machine maintenance, treatment protocols, vax
Beef- what are non-fed cattle
Cattle not raised directly for beef- beef and dairy dams
Dairy- abx for strep ag
Penicillin and others
Dairy- 3 criteria for calf housing
clean/dry, good natural ventilation, prevent calf-calf contact
Dairy- when do calves eat grain
21-28 days
Beef- how long to reach dinner table
14-22 months
Poultry- Coronavirus- describe
Enveloped
Dairy- how often move hutches in wet weather? dry?
3-4 days, up to 10 days
Advantages inactivated/non-infectious/killed vax
No replication in host, no change to virulence, safer
What is immunoprophylaxis
Enhancement of an immune response to protect from disease
Characteristics of coliform mastitis
sudden marked affected quarter swelling, fever, tremor, rumen stasis, dehydration, diarrhea; udder secretion starts serous with no leukocytes (pus) or fibrin- later have outpouring of fibrin and leukocytes
2 forms of immunoprophylaxis
Vaccination and passive transfer
What is the window of susceptibility
Critical period where maternal Ab go away and not enough acquired immunity has been produced to mount an appropriate immune response from 7-11 weeks
Dairy- 5 signs of inflammation
redness, swelling, heat, pain, less function
Dairy- herds with low somatic cell counts are at increased risk of what type of infection
Coliform due to the protective effect of elevated SCC
Dairy- 5 environmental pathogens causing mastitis
strep uberis, strep dysgalactia, staph coag neg, coliforms, t. pyogenes
What are inactivated/non-infectious/killed vax
Whole agent, purified subunit or recombinant protein
Dairy- What organism causes a coffee ground appearance to milk
Mycoplasma
Dairy- colostrum when
ASAP- within 2 hours (2-3L) and again within 4-6
When should heifers be moved to calving area
10-14 days prior
Beef- 3 risks of processing growing calves
Castration, dehorning, immunizing
Dairy- frequency of feeding calf in individual housing under 4-8 weeks
2x/day out of open faced bucket
Modified live/attenuated vax
Contain whole agent or recombinant vector
Poultry- What causes ascites
Metabolic causes - not bacteria or virus
Poultry- What virus causes infectious bronchitis
Variants of coronavirus
Beef- goals for animal well being
Good production practices, quality handling facilities, clean environment, nutrition
Dairy- most severe form of mastitis
Peracute- CS develop over 4-12 hours and have systemic portion
Dairy- What vax prevent mastitis
e. coli (also, but not recommended: staph aureus, mycoplasma bovis)
Dairy- Bacterial cause of mastitis that does not actively invade tissue
Strep agalactiae
What 4 factors affect the offspring’s Ab level
Maternal Ab titer, amount of colostrum received, parasitism, environment
Pathogenesis of strep ag
Subclinical inflammatory reaction blocks milk collection/prevents drainage, Involution of mammary tissue, irritant accumulates/intensifies, secretory tissue –> scar tissue –> atrophying the mammary gland
Dairy- What environmental strep infection is easily mistaken for strep ag
strep uberis
Dairy- how many calves in a group under 21 days
Beef- 4 components of post-breeding bull managment
determine breeding season success, PE, repro exam, vax, parasite control
Dairy- 4 coliforms that cause mastitis
e. coli, klebsiella, serratia, aeromonas
Dairy- weaning vax
NONE! no extra stress for one week surrounding
What program is more complex, breeder or layer
Breeder
Beef- procedures to be done at calving
ID tag, birth weight, naval care, castration, vitamin E/A/D/selenium, records
Dairy- california mastitis test
Indirect SCC in milk good screening for subclinical mastitis in a herd
Dairy- idea heifer weight 11-13 months
>750 lb
Dairy- post-weaning pen numbers
Beef- when are calves weaned
7-9 months
Beef- 3 factors that affect time to conception
cyclicity, uterine health, nutrition
Beef- What is the preferred place for IM injection in beef cow
Hands-width in front of scapula
Dairy- 2 orgs controlled by dry cow therapy
Strep ag, staph aureus
Beef- age when reach market weight
90-150 days
Who makes up the management team
Vet, shelter manager, others that control population size and animal movement
Dairy- target heifer BCS for calving
3-3.5
Why does DHIA report SCC as a natural log transformation
Eliminates extreme values from changing mean, allows direct estimation of milk production losses at each SCC level
Dairy- deworm schedule
4m, 5m, 8-9m, 11-13m
Advantages of modified live/attenuated
Replicates in host, longer lasting, fewer reactions, stimulates cell mediated immunity better
Colony immunity
Resistance of the group of animals to invasion and spread of infectious disease
Dairy- 4 month vax
IBR/PI3/BRSV/BVD, lepto 5 way, (+/- pink eye, deworm)
