ANS 2- 6.02 (Part 1)

On beef cattle, the hormone-implanting location is on the backside of the ear in the:

• bone tissue.

• cartilage.

• middle one-third of the ear.

• largest vein.

Using antibiotics and antibacterials at a lower level than would be used to treat sick animals is:

• concentrated use.

• subtherapeutic use.

• supratherapeutic use.

• therapeutic use.

Care should be taken to prevent crushing hormone transplant pellets because crushed pellets may result in:

• long period of effectiveness.

• loss of implant.

• too rapid absorption.

• too slow absorption.

Organic materials inserted under the skin of a beef animal’s ear to improve performance are:

• antibiotics.

• feed additives.

• hormone implants.

• vitamins.

The feed additives that should be selected for use when there is no specific known disease are:

• broad-spectrum antibiotics.

• coccidiostats.

• hormones.

• narrow-spectrum antibiotics.

The primary reason for using feed additives and hormones in livestock is to:

• decrease parasites.

• increase profits.

• increase reproductive performance.

• increase selling price.

The needle and the implantation site on the animal’s ear should be cleaned with alcohol to prevent:

• crushed pellets.

• diseases.

• infections.

• vein punctures.

In hormone implants, a dull or bent needle can cause:

• crushed pellets.

• diseases.

• infections.

• overdoses.

Hitting a vein when implanting hormones can result in:

• crushed pellets.

• diseases.

• loss of implant.

• overdoses.

The greatest economic return from the use of antibiotics in swine feeds is from:

• boars.

• market weight hogs.

• feeder pigs.

• sows.
