Question 1: How can you differentiate between bovine tuberculosis and Johne's disease in cattle?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Johne's disease causes coughing, bovine tuberculosis causes lameness

Bovine tuberculosis presents with chronic coughing, Johne's disease with weight loss and diarrhea

Johne's disease causes fever, while tuberculosis does not affect temperature

Bovine tuberculosis causes severe respiratory distress and Johne's is non-respiratory

Question 2: How do you manage disease outbreaks in a large livestock operation effectively?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Treat all animals with broad-spectrum antibiotics

Increase the feeding of animals to boost immune systems

Quarantine infected animals and ensure proper vaccination

Limit contact with external animals and reduce space

Question 3: What is the primary advantage of genomic selection in livestock breeding over traditional performance-based selection?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It leads to faster growth rates in offspring

It allows for the selection of traits that are difficult to measure

It eliminates the need for phenotype testing

It decreases the genetic diversity in the population

Question 4: When dealing with a case of bloat in ruminants, what is the first intervention recommended by veterinary experts?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Using a rumenotomy to manually expel gas from the stomach

Restricting movement and using mineral oil supplements

Linebreeding and inbreeding are identical practices

Inbreeding involves controlled mating of unrelated animals for improved genetic health

Linebreeding involves breeding within a specific lineage to retain desirable traits without the risks of inbreeding

Question 6: When managing feed costs, how can feed efficiency be improved for livestock?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By optimizing the energy and protein ratios in the diet, reducing waste, and enhancing feed conversion rates

By reducing the quality of feed to save on expenses

By increasing the number of feed changes per day
