Which diseases need passive (MDA) protection in growing herd

Erysipelas

PRRS

Porcine circovirus 2

E. coli

Time colostrum must be given by

12hr old

Live vs inactivated vs autogenous vaccines

L- quick, strong response, risky

I- slow, low response, safe, cheaper

A- emergency only

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae

PRRS

Lawsonia intracellularis

Erysipelas

Glassers

E. coli

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae

How often to do PRRS boar booster

6mon

Why does risk level inc post farrowing

Passive protection < protection level needed

Autogenous vaccine type (farm specific)

Inactivated with pathogen sample from farm

Restraint methods

Snare/snitch - behind canines

Boards

Crates

Crowding

Holding

Which ROA is cheapest (not good if ill)

In feed

Which inj ROA is best + why

IM - friable v, fat

Why to not use blunt needles

Abscess as drag bact in

IM location + why

Neck - no nerves, meat cut

90 degrees + long needle

Legal requirements for drug storage

Locked

Separate area from food

Equipment separate

Fireproof

Leakproof

Records for 5yrs

Med record requirments

Product

Batch

Timings

Animal ID

Doses + ROA

Withdrawal

Clearance

Staff

Example AB in group D that can be used

Tetracycline

Oxytetracycline

Doxycycline

Trimethoprim

Penicillin

Amoxicillin

Example AB in group C that can be used with caution (no alternative, C+S)

Amox + clavulanic acid

Streptomycin

Tiamulin

Florfenicol

Tylosin

Example AB in group B that have restricted usage

Enrofloxacin

Ceftiofur

Example AB with low penetration so can be used for GI, joint, pleura, peritoneum

Penicillin, Aminoglycosides, beta lactams, spectinomycin, cephalosporins, colistin

Example AB with med penetration so can be used for Milk, CSF

Sulphonamides, trimethoprim, macrolides, tetracyclines

Example AB with high penetration so can be used for intracellular

Tetracyclines, florfenicol, fluoroquinolones

Needles for wearers

21G

Needles for growers

19G

Needles for finishers

16g

Pigs consumer how much food per day

10% BW

Coccidiostats - example

Toltrazuril

Coccidiostats - ROA

Oral, inj with iron

Hormones for oestrus changes

Stimulate = GnRH analogue, PG600

Synchronise = Progestagens

Hormones for Farrowing

Induction = PGF2 alpha

Uterine cont / milk = oxytocin

Hormones - Progestagens timings

18d dose → oestrus 5d later

Hormones - Progestagens requirments

Active ovaries

Why to not under dose with Progestagens

Cystic ovaries → no cycling

Main nsaid uses (paracetamol, aspirin, meloxicam)

Anti infl, anti pyretic

Steroids use

Short term meningitis tx
