What is the plan attack for deworming? sheep - ANSWERS-dont deworm frequently or give high
doses, just monitor the risk
How do you monitor parasites? sheep - ANSWERS-take fecal samples before deworming and
then 14-21 days after deworming
What are the treatment strategies for internal parasites? sheep - ANSWERS-goals is not no
worms, but manageable numbers in animals and on pasture, who are susceptible to treatment
if they become a problems
What is refugia? sheep - ANSWERS-maintaining a population of susceptible worms in an
environment
What is proteins role in parasite control? sheep - ANSWERS-immunity, improved protein levels
What is phosphorus role in parasite control? sheep - ANSWERS-inhibits worm establishment
What is B12 role in parasite control? sheep - ANSWERS-may be specific requirement by immune
response
What is cobalts role in parasite control? sheep - ANSWERS-deficiency related to reduced
immunity to GI nematodes
,What is copper role in parasite control? sheep - ANSWERS-required for development of
immunity against GI nematodes
What does PRRSV stand for? - ANSWERS-Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus
What does PEDV stand for? - ANSWERS-Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus
What does PCV2 stand for? - ANSWERS-Porcine circovirus type 2
What does SIV stand for? - ANSWERS-Swine Inluenza Virus
What is the main take home message about swine health? - ANSWERS-health management is
less about treatment and more about prevention.
- biosecurity
- pig flow
- managing immunity
What does pig flow mean? - ANSWERS-how we manage a population
How can we manage immunity? - ANSWERS-protocols and procedures
What are the two parts of biosecurity? - ANSWERS-Bioexclusion and biocontainment
What is bioexclusion? - ANSWERS-how we keep disease/ things out
What is biocontainment? - ANSWERS-not spreading diseases by changing shoes and coveralls
,How do things/ disease come into a pig farm? - ANSWERS-- other pigs
- trucks
- feed
- semen
- people
- equipment
What are some farm-specific protocols for pig farms? - ANSWERS-- introducing and acclimating
replacement animals
- people flow and sanitation
- equipment and trucks
- dead animals
- birds/rodents/insects
- sanitation
Why is handling dead animals (pigs) problematic? - ANSWERS-because of biosecurity, we have
trucks go from farm to farm and there can be a fomite
What are the proper boot protocols in swine operations? - ANSWERS-change boots or use
cleaning stations properly
How are foot baths ineffective in swine barns most of the time? - ANSWERS-because the liquid
is not cleaned out enough, the fecal material builds up and makes disinfectant less effective
Describe multiple-site production system for pigs? - ANSWERS-_ breeding and farrowing barns
on on the same site but different buildings
- once the piglets are in the nursery phase (day 19-24) they will be moved to a different site
- after nursery, growing/finishing pigs are moved to a different site
, Describe a single site production system for pigs? - ANSWERS-All phases of pigs are all on the
same site but in different buildings (this is what KSU has)
What is the All-in, All out production term mean? - ANSWERS-- pigs 1-2 weeks apart in age
- moved in together
- moved out together
- facility is cleaned and disinfected between groups
What AI-AO considerations are there for swine operations? - ANSWERS-- AIAO by room, building
or site?
- Economies of scale
- Essential for business survival
- Breakdowns
What is segregated production? S - ANSWERS-weaning pigs and moving then to isolated (off
site) facilities
What is the purpose of segregated production? S - ANSWERS-- moving off the sow farm breaks
vertical transmission of disease from sow to pig
- isolation of different age groups breaks horizontal transmission of disease from pig to pig
What is the result of segregated production? S - ANSWERS-high health pigs with exceptional
growth performance
Do segregate early-weaned piglets have a higher or lower growth rate? S - ANSWERS-higher
What is vertical disease transmission? S - ANSWERS-Sow to litter
