A 500-pound weanling should be eating about 2.5% of its body weight in
concentrations (e.g. feed, grain) and roughage (e.g. forage, hay) a day.
According to the 1989 NRC, growing horses should be fed 70% of their ration as
✅✅
concentrates and 30% of their ration as roughage. Given this information, how
much grain and hay should this weanling be fed. - -grain = 8.75 pounds per
day, hay = 3.75 pounds per day
A syringe (tube) of ivermectin dewormer (Eqvalan®) contains sufficient paste to
treat one 1250 lb horse at the recommended dose rate of 91 mcg ivermectin per
pound. You have 5 weanling horses to deworm and each weighs approximately
✅✅
500 pounds. How many syringes of ivermectin paste dewormer will you need to
deworm them one time? - -2 syringes of ivermectin paste
Banamine® (flunixin meglumine) is an intravenous injectable non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory solution (50 mg/ml) for horses and cattle. The recommended
✅✅
dose for treating acute mastitis in dairy cows is 2.2 mg/lb. What volume should
be administered to a Holstein heifer weighing 1250 pounds? - -25 ml
Chorulon® (human chorionic gonadotropin; hCG) is commonly used to induce
ovulation in mares as part of routine breeding management. It comes as a vial
containing 10,000 IU of powder. After reconstituting it with 10 ml of sterile
✅✅
phosphate buffered water, what volume would you administer to a mare if the
dosage of Chorulon is 2,500 IU/mare. - -2.5 ml
Convenia® (cefovecin sodium) is a slow release subcutaneous injectable
antibiotic for dogs and cats. It comes as a vial containing 800 mg of powder that
is reconstituted in 10 ml of sterile water. To treat a cat for a skin abscess, a
✅✅
volume of 0.045 ml/lb of Convenia® should be administered. What is this dose in
mg/lb? - -3.6 mg/lb
Feeding beef calves from a starting weight of 550 pounds to a finished weight of
✅✅
1150 pounds requires how many days of feeding assuming an average daily gain
of 2.95 pounds per day. - -203 days
