Body conditioning and its effects on conception in cows are very important because cows should have and wean a calf every:
6 months
12 months
18 months
24 months
A major advantage of synchronization of estrus in cows and heifers is:
higher conception rates
less uniform calf crop.
lower level of management required.
reduced breeding and calving seasons.
Arranging the breeding schedule so that groups of sows farrow at regular intervals throughout the year is called:
double farrowing
multiple farrowing
seasonal farrowing.
single farrowing
In breeding flock management, eggs are gathered several times per day and packed:
with large end up
with large end down
with dirt and manure on them.
in random positions
What type of breeding is used because of the low fertility problems and the large size of male turkeys?
artificial insemination
Confinement breeding
embryo transfer
natural breeding
Which preventive maintenance procedure is performed as a part of breeding flock management to prevent the spread of diseases from eggs?
Adding vitamins to feed
Fumigating with formaldehyde
Spraying with insecticides
Sorting eggs at 80 percent humidity
When a beef cow is artificially inseminated, a gloved hand is inserted into the animal’s rectum to guide the inseminating rod through the:
infundibulum.
vas deferens
cervix
fallopian tube
Removing a nucleus from an embryo before the embryo is implanted in the uterine wall and placing the nucleus into a mature, unfertilized egg cell is nuclear transfer or:
artificial insemination.
crossbreeding
embryo cloning.
palpation
One of the major advantages of embryo cloning is:
genetically uniform offspring.
genetically diverse offspring
high costs.
low success rates.
Brucellosis testing, pregnancy diagnosis testing, and treating scours are applications of:
bovine somatotropin production.
embryo transfer
monoclonal antibody technology.
bioengineered vaccines.
In embryo transfer, the embryos are removed from the female donor by a process called:
drenching
flushing
infusion
sterilization.
Genetically engineered bovine somatotrophin (bST) given to dairy cattle results in:
increased milk production.
more fat and weight increases.
more fat and weight losses.
reduced milk production
The major problem that most people have with the use of biotechnology in animal production is the:
education needed to use it.
fear of the unknown.
profits made by farmers.
cost of development.
The biotechnology activity that can most rapidly increase the uniformity of cattle in a herd is:
artificial insemination
cloning
embryo transfer.
pure-breeding.
An area of biotechnology that uses monoclonal antibodies to improve animal health by increasing accuracy and reducing time is:
diagnostic testing.
disease prevention.
embryo transfer
parasite prevention.
A major advantage of embryo transfer is that it speeds the genetic improvement of a herd of beef cattle from the:
bull
dam
siblings
sire
The technology that opened the door for biotechnology to be used in animal reproduction is:
bioengineered vaccines.
cloning
embryo transfer
monoclonal antibody technology.
The genetics of cloned animals are:
different
identical
randomly mixed.
recessive
