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?

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

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
