91
Q

Clinical signs of strawberry footrot:

A

Proliferative dermatitis - deep scabs, but NO itching and NO lameness

Haemonchus contortus leads to ___

A

anemia

95
Q

What can you do to increase GI transit time of a dewormer?

A

restrict feed prior to administration

96
Q

In order to make sure the dewormer gets through the entire GIT, and not stuck in the rumen, what tool can you use to administer the drug?

A

Drenching gun/syringe

97
Q

T/F: farmers can rotate deworming agents within a grazing season.

To prevent further resistance, it is improtant to use one deworming agent until it is no longer effective. To render the drug as ineffective, we want to see less than ____% of egg reduction pre gram within the feces.

A

90

99
Q

We want to have ___ eggs in the feces before we turn new stock into an existing population.

100
Q

What is the purpose of FAMACHA anemia guide?

A

Selects for natral resistance

Looks for the parasite Haemonchus - rates anemia based on 1-5 (1 being optimal, and 5 being fatal)

Will only treat animal if rated 4 or 5 - this will maintain the “refugia” - allowing for a small population of paraistes that have not been exposed to drugs before, limiting the amount of reistance that develops within the parasite population.

101
Q
