ANS 2- 6.02 (Part 2)

A major health concern of using antibiotics at low levels in livestock feed is that disease-causing microorganisms may become:

• extinct.

• resistant.

• sick.

• weak.

In addition to implanting, hormones can be given to animals as:

• feed additives.

• salt blocks.

• vaccinations.

• water additives.

Which feed additive should be used to control worms in beef cattle or swine?

• Antibiotics

• Anthelmintics

• Hormones

• Tranquilizers

Which is an antibiotic feed additive for swine?

• Aureomycin

• MGA

• Ralgro

• Tranquilizers

Uniformly mixing additives in livestock feed is necessary for all animals to:

• get the correct amount.

• get well.

• grow at the same rate.

• have parasite control.

Withdrawing the hormone implant needle too rapidly can result in:

• artery punctures.

• crushed hormone pellets.

• infections.

• vein punctures.

Materials that are put in animal rations in small amounts to improve feed efficiency, promote faster gains, improve health, or increase production of animal products are:

• concentrates.

• feed additives.

• hormone implants.

• roughages.

Which rule summarizes many of the rules and procedures for properly mixing medicated feeds?

• Clean the mixer.

• Keep records.

• Read and follow the label.

• Properly store additives.

When beef cattle are put on spring pasture grass or are fed grain, poloxaline can be used to:

• calm animals.

• prevent bloat.

• prevent parasites.

• treat worms.

Great care should be taken to clean all medicated feed from the feed mixer to:

• avoid drug contamination.

• avoid extra feed costs.

• keep feeder from rusting.

• reduce odors.
