Midterm old test questions Flashcards
Poultry
3 ways disease spreads
- people
- equipment
- vehicles
Poultry
Method not acceptable for dz resistance
natural exposure and recovery
Poultry
Acceptable feed conversion for broilers
1-2 ( think)
Poultry
Type of lymphocytes in birds
- IgA
- IgM
- IgG
- IgB
Poultry
When cleaning a vehicle
- spray the whole vehicle, not just the tires
Poultry
Post outbreak safety for new flock
not less than 2 weeks
Poultry
Ventilation
- Cool fresh air required
- avoid re-circulation
Poultry
Important biosecurity measure
proper footbath
Comp animal
Priority handling
- puppies and kittens
- preggos
- young adults
- healthy adults
- quarantined patients
- isolated/sick patients
comp animal
Critical period and vaccines
- continue to booster during critical period
- uncertainty of time of decline of maternal antibodies
comp animal
Adjuvants (2 points)
- inc duration and immunostimulation
- cause fibrosarcoma in cats
Comp animal
Zoonotic diseases of shelters
- rabies
- bordetella (zoonotic)
- leptospirosis
- lyme dz….?
comp animal
Advantages of inactivated vaccines
(3 bullets)
- don’t replicate in host
- no reversion to virulence
- safer on immunosuppressed or neonates
comp animal
Disadvantages of inactivated vaccines
(4 points)
- requires more vaccines
- inc allergic reactions because of inc Ag mass
- requires adjuvant
- shorter duration of action
comp animal
K9 distemper
- shed in body secretions
- aerosol exposure (primary)
- young dog groups
- labile hours to days
- shed 1-2 days post recovery (….?)
Comp animal
Lepto vax
- tends to cause anaphylaxis
- treat anapylaxis and d’c use
- reduces incidence and severity, not carrier state
- avoid in min Dachshunds
comp animal
Core canine vaccines
- distemper (adenovirus)
- parvo
- infectious K9 hepatitis
- rabies
comp animal
Core feline vaccines
- panleukopenia
- herpes
- calici
- rabies
Poultry
Commercial broilers marketed at 38 days old, therefore producers rely on what to prevent disease
- biosecurity
- vaccines
- maternal antibodies
*Not natural field exposure (no time for this)
Poultry
List types of vaccines in order from most to least resonse
- Fine spray
- Coarse spray
- eye drops
- water
Poultry
spread of disease to poultry farms not by
wind/airborne
Poultry
When visiting several broiler flocks in one day it’s important to
- consider even healthy appearing flocks diseased
- shedule visits to young flocks first
*DO NOT BYPASS FOOT BATHS EVER
Poultry
Correct biosecurity practices
- improve ventilation to reduce loss from disease
- footbaths
- downtime (between successive flock visits)
*Vehicles may not be driven onto premises if ONLY tires are disinfected
Poultry
Vaccination procedures….
- Vaccines may be administered by several different routes including in ovo, spray, eye drop, wing web, water
- Vaccination programs vary significantly from farm to farm, even within a state
- Breeder vaccinations are more complete to protect progeny and fertile eggs
*Broilers DO need to be vaccinated even tho they only live a short period of time (IBD, IBV, NDV in the US)
Poultry
Cannabalism can be controlled by
- trimming tip of beak
- reducing light intensity
- reducing placement density
- increasing protein levels in feed
*Increasing body weight of flock DOES NOT reduce cannabalism
Poultry
Disease prevention in broiler production is the goal because
broiler lifespan is short and doesn’t permit time for recovery
