Document Summary
Artificial insemination: marketing, reproduction, disease prevention, nutrition, housing. Appropriate vaccination: look at location and risk factors. Feed wisely- locally grown things and be creative. Vector: a living thing that carries and spreads disease. Fomite: nonliving thing that carries and spreads disease. Pathogen: a living disease producing agent (virus, bacteria, prion) Feed conversion: pounds of food per pound of weight gain. Pasteurization: heat milk to 100 degrees f and then cool it quickly. Prolactin is the hormone that signals milk production to begin in the mammary gland. Milk production in the mammary gland occurs in the alveoli. Each segment of udder has thousands of alveoli. When lumen fills up, the epithelial cells shut down and don"t allow blood to enter. Soy bean is one of the more common protein sources. You can save lots of money by being creative about what you feed.
