Ruminants Flashcards
Pathogen of destructive rhinitis
OHV-2 (Herpesvirus: Malignant catarrhal fever)
What is responsible for the development of grazing pulmonary edema? (fog fever/ ABPEE)
Switching from poor quality pature to rich pasture (increase of proteins in feed)
What treatment would you use for foamy fermentation bloating?
Sounding, foaming, flaxseed, hay supplementation
What is characteristic of grazing pulmonary edema?
Sudden formation, may affected animals (sudden onset, only adults)
Enzoonotic bronchopneumonia in calves?
Complex pathological disease
Which statement is false about enzootic pneumonia in calves?
Always an acute disease
Pathogen of bovine lungworm
Dictyocaulus viviparus
What is not subject of notification?
Infectious bovine laryngitis and tracheitis
Gentle feeding to restore rumen pH
It is mainly hay containing high quality fibres
Substance formed from carbohydrates during rumen digestion?
Volatile fatty acids
Peripheral blood for measuring beta-hydroxy butyric acid?
Blood taken from the tail vein is suitable for measurement
Which clinical parameter is useful for early detection of the disease on herd level?
Milk production
Optimal pH range of rumen:
6.3-7.1
In subacute rumen acidosis, the pH range of the rumen is
5.5-6.5
Time required to restore subclinical rumen acidosis
2-3 weeks
Clinical signs of acute rumen acidosis
Occasionally Kussmaul- type dyspnoea
Drugs used in the treatment of acute rumen acidosis?
MgOxide (500g, p.os)
Prevention of rumen acidosis
Feeding rumen buffers
Not used in the therapy of clinical ketosis?
Gamithromycin
What is true for free gas bloat?
Probing and medical treatment are also available for diagnostic purposes
Peripartal insulin resistance in ruminants
The derived index, which can be measure on the basis of the blood parameters is indicated by, for example RQUICK
Diagnosis of subclinical ketosis?
Measurement of BHB concentration from peripheral blood
In the treatment of calving paralysis (milk fever), the administration of calcium compounds is recommended as follows
Intravenously
Symptoms of subclinical hypoglycemia
Diseases around childbirth become more common
Treatment of clinical hypocalcemia (calving paralysis)
Calciumgluconat iv
What is the consistency of ruminal content in case of anterior functional stenosis
Foamy, cream- Like
What orifice is the cause of blocked passage in the case of posterior functional stenosis?
Pylorus
What is the consequence of ruminal reflux?
The concentration of Cl-ion in the rumen increases
Which solution is preferred to use in abomasal displacement?
Laparoscopy (1 step form)
Which statement is true for rolling technique in case of abomasal displacement
Rapid, simple and non-invasive technique, but the incidence of recurrence is quite high (50-70%)
What method is providing the abomasal life-long fixation
Fixation with non-absorbable thread, which causes local peritonitis and then adhesions
What is characteristic of the Hanoverian method used to resolve the abomasal displacement?
Standing right flank lapartomy
