Production Systems & Industries
This type of sheep operation tends to have larger flock sizes and be located in the central and west regions of the U.S.
Range operations
This is an effective cooling process in horses, but only marginally effective in cattle, sheep, goats, and swine.
Sweating
This type of injection is given under the skin but not into the muscle.
Subcutaneous or SubQ
This is the reflexes and behavioral patterns that are present at birth.
Instinct
This must be available to animals at all times before processing.
Water
This is the most common type of U.S. equine operation for herds of 20 head or more.
Boarding and Training
This is the most cost-effective strategy to lessen the impact of heat.
Shade
This is any deviation from normal health in which there are marked physiological, anatomical, or chemical changes in the animal's body.
Disease
This is the study of animal behavior.
Ethology
This type of flooring is important for unloading animals.
Non-Slip Flooring
These lambs are produced out of season and are usually focused on east coast market outlets.
Hothouse lambs
This is the range in effective ambient temperature where rate and efficiency of performance us maximized and health is optimal.
Thermal Neutral Zone
Commonly observed vital signs include temperature, heart rate or pulse, and _________________.
Respiration rate
This system of behavior includes rumination.
Ingestive Behavior
This is used to load turkeys into a trailer.
Conveyor
This recognizes that pre-weaned pigs are free of nearly all pathogens and if they are managed as a distinct group to final marketing weights then the risk of cross-contamination and costly disease outbreaks are largely avoided.
Isowean Principle
This is a series of biological adaptations that reduce physiological stress due to climatic conditions.
Acclimatization
This is an infectious disease that is transmitted between species from animals to humans (or from humans to animals).
zoonotic disease or zoonosis
This type of conditioning uses reinforcements.
Operant Conditioning
This can be released if cattle prods are used shortly before slaughter.
Adrenaline
This dairy production system has the highest production.
Conventional
This is the process of heat transfer arising from air or water movement.
Convection
Colostrum is important in this phase of immune function.
Passive immunity
This system of animal behavior includes fight and flight.
Agonistic Behavior
These make the way sheep are unloaded and taken into the processing plant unique.
