Arranging the breeding schedule so that groups of sows farrow at regular intervals throught the year is called:
double farrowing
multiple farrowing
seasonal farowing
single farrowing
Since a person compares the feel and size of various parts of the reproductive tract to determine the stages of pregnancy, an accurate diagnosis requires:
experience
knowledge
speed
a veterinarian's license
Body conditioning and its effects on conception in cows are very important because cows should have and wean a calf every:
18 months
6 months
12 months
24 months
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
Storning eggs at 80% humidity
Hatching eggs are fumigated to help prevent the spread of:
egg-borne diseases
external parasites
internal parasies
nutritional disorders
In confinement swine production, a management practice that increases conception rates is to:
breed females at least twice each heat period
breed females once each heat period
breed gilts during the first heat period
check for standing heat each week
Equipment needed for palpation includes:
coveralls and boots
obstetrical chains or rope
a plastic sleeve and lubricant
a thermometer and a watch
When a beef cow is artificially inseminated, a gloved hand is inserted into the animal's rectum to guide the inseminating rod through the:
cervix
fallopian tube
infundibulum
vas deferens
A major disadvantage 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
The process of feeling the reproductive tract of a cow to determine pregnancy is:
artificial insemination
palpation
parturition
sterilization
In breeding flock management, eggs are gathered several times per day and packed:
in random positions
with dirt and maure on them
with large end down
with large end up
The highest percentage of all reproductive failures in cows is caused by:
diseases
parasites
underconditioned, thin cows
weather conditions
An area of biotechnology that uses monoclonal antibodies to improve animal health by increasing accuracy and reducing time is:
diagnositc testing
disease prevention
embryo transfer
parasite prevention
Brucellosis testing pregnancy diagnosis testing, and treating scours are applicaitons of:
bioengineered vaccines
bovine soatotropin produciton
embryo transfer
monoclonal antibody technology
The biotechnology activity that can most rapidly increase the uniformity of cattle in a herd is:
artificial insemination
cloning
embryo transfer
pure-breeding
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
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
The major problem that most people have withthe use of biotechnology in animal production is the:
cost of development
education needed to use it.
fear of the unknown
profits made by the farmers
One of the major advantages of embryo cloning is:
genetically uniform offspring
genetically diverse offspreing
high costs
low success rates
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 given to dairy cattle results in:
increased milk production
more fat and weight increases
more fat and weight losses
reduced milk production
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 mised
recessive
