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

100

This is an effective cooling process in horses, but only marginally effective in cattle, sheep, goats, and swine.

Sweating

100

This type of injection is given under the skin but not into the muscle.

Subcutaneous or SubQ

100

This is the reflexes and behavioral patterns that are present at birth.

Instinct

100

This must be available to animals at all times before processing.

Water

200

This is the most common type of U.S. equine operation for herds of 20 head or more.

Boarding and Training

200

This is the most cost-effective strategy to lessen the impact of heat.

Shade

200

This is any deviation from normal health in which there are marked physiological, anatomical, or chemical changes in the animal's body.

Disease

200

This is the study of animal behavior.

Ethology

200

This type of flooring is important for unloading animals.

Non-Slip Flooring

300

These lambs are produced out of season and are usually focused on east coast market outlets.

Hothouse lambs

300

This is the range in effective ambient temperature where rate and efficiency of performance us maximized and health is optimal.

Thermal Neutral Zone 

300

Commonly observed vital signs include temperature, heart rate or pulse, and _________________.

Respiration rate

300

This system of behavior includes rumination.

Ingestive Behavior

300

This is used to load turkeys into a trailer.

Conveyor

400

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

400

This is a series of biological adaptations that reduce physiological stress due to climatic conditions.

Acclimatization

400

This is an infectious disease that is transmitted between species from animals to humans (or from humans to animals).

zoonotic disease or zoonosis

400

This type of conditioning uses reinforcements.

Operant Conditioning

400

This can be released if cattle prods are used shortly before slaughter.

Adrenaline

500

This dairy production system has the highest production.

Conventional

500

This is the process of heat transfer arising from air or water movement.

Convection

500

Colostrum is important in this phase of immune function.

Passive immunity

500

This system of animal behavior includes fight and flight.

Agonistic Behavior

500

These make the way sheep are unloaded and taken into the processing plant unique.
