Q
  1. Types of anaesthesia in swine
A

General:
-Inhal (not so good), IM (premed), IV, slow drop infusion in ear.

Epidural - lumbosacral

Local

Approach:

  • withhold food, minimize stress (mal)
  • Neck muscle
  • FPA, only neck
17
Q
  1. Drugs of anaesthesia in swine
A

Sedation and premed:
-Azeperon (cheap,effective, premed, + ket + midazolam or ket and butorphanol)

Sedation:

  • Acepromazine (not alone + ket)
  • Diazepam (+midazolam)
  • Midazolam (piglets, + ket)
  • Xylazine (+ ket and but)

Induction and maintenance:
-Ketamine (IV, + midazolam, SE. resp, sal)

Local:
-Lido + xylazin in epidural

18
Q
  1. Teasing boars (use, operations)
A

-To find animal in estrus.

Should be:

  • free of diseases
  • high libido
  • small for gilts, but big enough for mature
  • color
  • friendly

Procedure: Vasectomy, epidymectomy.

19
Q

107.Aims and methods of farrowing synchronization at the pig farm

A

Why? Labour.

can use PGF2a IM - farrowing 24h later .

20
Q

108.Phases of farrowing

A

1st - preparation:
- milk droplets in teats, eat less, hard abdomen, cervical opening, red vulva, amnionic fluid.

2nd - birth

  • might need assistance, 2-8h
  • piglets get to teat alone or assistance

3rd- final ohase

  • borth of placenta 1-5h
  • retention..
  • lochia 1-2 days after.

caring for newborns: aspirated fluid from nasal cavity and mouth, umbilical , colostrum, heat.

21
Q
  1. Most frequent morphological defects of boar semen and diagnostic methods of them
A

Check macroscopic (vol, smell, color) and microscopic (spectro, motility, morphology)

70% motility!
Head deform - important
Tail, acrosome abnormalities.

Cytoplasmic droplets at base = too often collection.

22
Q

105.Pregnancy diagnosis in pigs

A

Preg - 116days

Visual and endocrine methods:

  • look, US - 25 days after AI
  • maternal and embryonic hormones
  • E2 production of morula and blastocyst
  • P4 high in the tie of next follicular phase - not specific

Other: palp uterine artery, histo sample from vagina - not used.

23
Q

101.Estrous induction and synchronization methods in swine

A

Estrous sync in sow:
-natural synch, heat on 5th days, ov 6th day after weaning.

Estrous sync in gilts:

  • synthes progestagene - altrenogest
  • stimulate luteal phase, 25h later eCG, 78hCG/GnRH
24
Q

116.Caring for newborn pigets (docking (tail clipping), teeth-clipping, castration)

A

Docking- tail clipping;

  • prevent biting, 3 days when iron is given
  • 16mm

Teeth-clipping
-3 days after farrowing

Castration:
-under 7 days no ana

25
Q

117.Castration of grower-finisher pig and boar

A

7 days < 20kg
Sedation: local

> 20kg - general ana - simple iv inj ear or v.cava cranialis.
-+ local , can also do epidural, but not best.
No sutures

26
Q

112.Prolapse of rectum and vulval haematoma in swine

A

Rectum:
-Growing pigs, inc abd pressure, can be with prolapsed cervix.
-separate pig, restrain upside down in barrel, clean, local ana, puch back purse suture, ab
OR place tube around prolapse OR amputate.

Vuvla:
-Common in gilts, after farrowing, can rupture and bleed and die.
Procedure: sedate, local, clean, bandage between lips behind hematoma remove hemetaoma.
- if not stopped suture behind, clamp.
AB, check every 15 min in 2-3h for bleeding.

27
Q

111.Uterine and cervical prolapse in swine

A

Uterus: 2-3h after farrowing

  • blood vessels can rupture, all can collapse, euth
  • Or try like cow

Cervix: before farrowing
-Supporting tissue relaxes, pressure.

suture again after farrowing.

28
Q

115.Caring for newborn pigets (umbilical haemorrhage, artificial feeding, iron supplementation)

A

Umbilical haemorrhage:
