functioning of an organism
- normal behavior
- productivity (production animals)
- healthy living environment
- good animal welfare
3 Circles View of Animal Welfare - Answers - - physical: health and functioning
- mental: affective states
- natural state: natural behaviors
5 domains view of animal welfare - Answers - - nutrition
- environment
- health
- behavior
- mental state
disease - Answers - disorder of structure of function in an animal, especially one that
produces specific symptoms or that affects a specific location and includes physical
injury
One Health Triad includes - Answers - human health, animal health and environmental
health
TRUE or FALSE- One Health uses a reactive approach to health - Answers - FALSE-
One Health uses a systems approach
What is involved in One Health approach - Answers - - collaboration
- a comprehensive approach to global health
- helps us achieve good health outcomes for animals, humans and the environment
One Health Umbrella Model - Answers - focus more on human and animal health and
lack a strong environmental component and is the European One health model
Components of One Health - Answers - - one medicine: vet and human medicine
working together
- systems approach
- 6 degrees of one health concept
- involves problems that are inherently complex
One health is a result of which type of collaborative teamwork framework - Answers -
Transdisciplinary
, TRUE or FALSE- Holistic medicine is common in traditional biomedical models and
approaches - Answers - FALSE- holistic medicine is common in systems approach
which is a non-traditional approach to health
Interdisciplinary - Answers - works to create a solution to a problem through integration
of knowledge between disciplines
Transdisplinary - Answers - combining multiple disciplines to form a new discipline
Multidisiplinary - Answers - two or more disciplines coming together to solve a problem
but stays within their boundaries
Traditional biomedical model focuses on - Answers - physical aspects of illness and
pathological changes caused by disease and uses a reductionist approach (look at each
individual part and not the whole)
TRUE or FALSE- disruptions in environmental conditions and habitats reduces the
opportunity for disease to pass from animals to humans - Answers - FALSE
Challenges of a non-traditional systems approach to health - Answers - - can be more
costly and time consuming
- relies on new medical treatment and philosophies
- difficult to apply scientific paradigms
challenges to a traditional approach - Answers - - costly without addressing contributing
factors to the outcome of disease
- ignore external factors leading to disease and poor health
- rewards procedures (short term) over process
Environment circle in One Health Triad includes - Answers - - animal husbandry and
management
- nutrition, water quality
- waste management
- biosecurity practice/protocols
TRUE or FALSE- providing animals with high quality healthy food, is a way to reduce
spread of communicable disease and improve immune function - Answers - TRUE-
good nutrition can improve health, reduce risk of disease, improve immune function and
improve production parameters in production animals
TRUE or FALSE- an animals behavior does not impact risk of disease - Answers -
FALSE- animal behavior is important for identifying illness and disease; behavioral
changes an indicate illness
