the neonate Flashcards
how long is stage 1 labour for ewe
2-12 hrs
how long is stage 1 labor for doe
2-12hrs
same as ewe
how long is stage 1 of labor for cow last
2-6hrs
decribe stage 1 of gestation
Separate from the group
• Restless
• NesMng
• vocalization
Fetus toward exit
uterine tissue pushed back
cervix dilating
fergusson reflex
fetus rotates in2 sternal recumbency with hea ,neck and the forelimbs extended
describe stage 2 of labour
- starts with the rupture of the allantochorion
- hard labor-straining
- progress important
- presentation of the fetus helps
- lateral recumbency
- end with delivery of neonate
how long does stage 2 last for ewe and dow
1-2 hrs
how long is stage 2 for labor in cow
1-2 hrs
shorter in older cows
recognise that its also 1-2 hrs in goats n sheeps
how long is stage 3 in goats and sheep
< 6 hrs
long is stage 3 of labor in cow
<8 hrs
retained if its more than 12 hrs in ruminants
t happens in stage 3 of labor
- cotyledons detarch
- uterine contractions expel plasma in its entirety
- involution 28 days in sr
- involution 40-60 days in cow
when does involution occur in sr and in cow
sr= 28 days
cow=40-60 days
for how long does locjia last in sr and in cow
sr= 3 wks
cows=12-15 days
ould the calf have a suckle reflex
5 mins
when should the calf be in sternal reflex
5 mins
after how long should the calf attempt to stand
15 mins
ng should a calf be standing
1 hr
by what time should a calf be nursing
<2 hrs
before long should the calf had colostrum
4 hrs
when assessing a new calf,what should be its rr,hr and temp
temp=101.5-103
hr=100-150
rr=50-70
mm should be pink with normal crt
WHich component of the colostrum is destryed when it is frozen
leukocytes
which component of the colostrum is depreses wbc fxn
cortisol due to stress at birth
expalin the effect of cold stress on fxn of colostrum
- Depresses neutrophil chemotaxis
- VasoconstricMon decreases delivery to
periphery

immunoglobin conc. in colostrum and how long it lasts
20-110g/l of igG
declines after 9 hrs
not dilution
ways to measure colostrum immunoglobulin
- visual/colostrometer
- cow side immunoassay kits
- brix refractometer (22% is 50g/l)
- anything less is bad
discuss some feeding protocols for colostrum
- 50 kg calf *7.5/100= 3.75L
- 150g of igG colostrum in first 4 hrs
- second feed at 12 hrs old
- 5- 7.5%body wt
- more than 2l but less than 4 l in the 1st 4 hrs before 4 hrs
- if u feed more than 4l u slow gastric motility
- feed more frequently
ways and mechanisms of feeding colostrum
- esophageal groove closure
- u dnt want colostrum to go in2 rumen
- teat is the best way to feed colostrum
- u canaslo use nipple/bottle feeder
- salivation improves gastric motility n trigger esophageal groove to close
test to do to test if colostrum has been taken/enough/adequate
- zink sulphate turbidity test
- radioimmune assay
- it takes a long time. just good to ensure that the calf indeed took colostrum in retrospective way
- TP on refractometer
- very useful in ruminants bt nt foals
- if u hav a sick neonate, u may have less protein because it is utilizing it from colostrum.
- it is quick and easy
TP CONC. FOR HEALTHY AND ILL NEONATES
- ILL=TP>5.5g/dl
- HEALTHY=TP>5.2G/DL
DESIRABLE TP IN GOATS
1600MG/DL AND 5.3G/L TP IN GOAT KIDS
AMOUNT OF TP THAT SHOWS FAILURE OF COLOSTRUM INTAKE IN GOATS
<600MG/DL
HOW DOES MEANSURE OF GGT HELPS IN MEASURING COLOSTRUM INTAKE
GGT COMES FROM THE LIVER IN THE BILE DUCTS.
GGT IS IN EVERY DUCT IN THE BODY EG TEAR DUCT, MAMMARY GLANDS
IF ITS HIGH THEN U KNOW THE CALF HAS DRUNK MILK FROM THE MOM
COMMON CONSEQUENCES OF DZ IN NEONATAL RUMINANTS
SepTIcEemia till proven otherwise
• Pneumonia
• Diarrhea
• Joints
!
common causes of mortality in the first week of lyf
- fetal infection ate gestation
- still birth
- congenital
- trauma
- weak calves due to low vit e and se
- hypothemia n hypoglycemia
- sepsis
- scours
- naval related infections
- pneumonia
