Q

It is a technology that improves animal breeds by placing sperm from a top-quality male directly into a female without natural mating. It helps prevent the spread of diseases, saves money by reducing the need for many breeding males, makes it easier to track pedigrees, and introduces better genetics affordably

A

Artificial Insemination

20
Q

Advanced techniques such as ? further enhance AI’s effectiveness, allowing farmers to create healthier and better livestock more efficiently.

A

freezing semen and sperm sexing

21
Q

In cases where other artificial reproductive techniques don’t work—such as when there are issues like blocked reproductive systems, non-responsive ovaries, poor semen quality, or disease—what fertilization technique is used

A

in vitro fertilization (IVF)

22
Q

involves fertilizing the sperm and egg outside the animal’s body under controlled conditions.

A

IVF

23
Q

involves moving embryos from a superior female to a surrogate mother, allowing the production of multiple offspring from a high-quality female.

A

Embryo transfer (ET)

24
Q

The process includes hormonally stimulating the donor to produce multiple eggs, fertilizing them, and then transferring the embryos into the surrogate mother’s uterus.

A

Embryo transfer (ET)

25
Q

is a method where the nucleus (DNA) from a somatic cell is placed into an egg cell with its nucleus removed to create a new individual that is genetically identical to the original cell donor.

A

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT)

26
Q

allows for cloning of animals with superior traits and helps study how genes interact with their environment or test transgenic animals.

A

SCNT

27
Q

refers to using advanced technologies and methods to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases in animals.

A

Disease management

28
Q

Improved diagnostic abilities enable earlier and more specific treatment of diseases, allowing affected animals to be isolated sooner and reducing the risk of infection to the rest of the herd.

A

Diagnostic Test

29
Q

Improved immunization in animals focuses on preventing diseases rather than just controlling them, reducing the need for drugs.

A

Animal Immunization

30
Q

That are designed to enhance or control the immune responses of animals. While this can improve disease resistance, it may not address broader welfare concerns.

A

Immune System Regulators

31
Q

This include advanced drugs that target a wider range of pathogens or are more effective against resistant bacteria. Despite their effectiveness in preventing and treating disease, they may not fully address the overall welfare of animals in intensive production environments.

A

New Antibiotics

32
Q

refers to the use of biotechnological methods and innovations to create solutions that promote environmental, economic, and social sustainability.

A

Sustainability

33
Q

Enhance feed efficiency and reduce waste, contributing to sustainable farming practices.

A

Automated Feeders

34
Q

Improve animal health and prevent disease outbreaks, supporting sustainable animal welfare.

A

Monitoring Sensors

35
Q

Convert waste into energy, supporting sustainability by reducing environmental impact and costs.

A

Biogas Systems

36
Q

Conserves water and minimizes pollution, contributing to more sustainable farm operations.

A

Water Recycling

37
Q

Help farmers manage operations more efficiently and make informed decisions, promoting sustainable practices.

A

Farming Apps

38
Q

Facilitate better market access and pricing, contributing to economic sustainability for farmers.

A

Online Marketplaces

39
Q

Reduce water use and improve sustainability in fish farming.

A

Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS)

40
Q

refers to the quality of life experienced by an animal and encompasses how well the animal is coping with his or her current situation and surroundings.

A

Animal welfare

41
Q

What are the Five Domains of animal welfare?

A
  • nutrition
  • environment
  • health
  • behavior
  • mental state
42
Q

factors that involve the animal’s access to sufficient, balanced, varied, and clean food and water.

A

Nutrition

43
Q

factors that enable comfort through temperature, substrate, space, air, odor, noise, and predictability.

A

Environment

44
Q

factors that enable good health through the absence of disease, injury, impairment with a good fitness level.

A

Health

45
Q

factors that provide varied, novel, and engaging environmental challenges through sensory inputs, exploration, foraging, bonding, playing, retreating, and others.

A

Behavior

46
Q

of the animal should benefit from predominantly positive states, such as pleasure, comfort, or vitality while reducing negative states such as fear, frustration, hunger, pain, or boredom.

A

mental state
