The document discusses the objectives and nutritional needs of different types of mares in a breeding program. The objective is for high conception rates early in the season with few cycles per conception. An early conception allows the mare to exit the program sooner, which is more cost effective for the breeder. Pregnant mares have higher nutrient needs to support the growth of the fetus. Lactating mares also have increased needs to produce milk, ranging from 2-3% of their body weight daily, for the nursing foal.

Transition Theory and Its Application in Bangladesh
This document discusses demographic transition theory in Bangladesh. It explains that Bangladesh has experienced a transition from high birth and death rates to lower birth and death rates, as most developing countries have. This transition is occurring due to factors like improved family planning, rising costs of children, women working less, and decreased child marriage in Bangladesh. The birth rate is decreasing due to these factors as well as improved health, nutrition, and medical science, while the death rate is decreasing due to improvements in maternal and child health, food, and medical progress. This demographic transition has resulted in economic and social improvements in Bangladesh.
HWA & Water Quality
Hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) threatens our forest, but the loss of these trees would affect more than just land. Take a quick look on how hemlocks impact water quality in Ottawa County and Michigan.
Raising them
This document outlines the typical yearly cycle for raising sheep, beginning with breeding season in October and ending when the cycle repeats the following October. Key points include: rams are added in October to breed ewes; lambing occurs in March after a 152-day gestation; newborn lambs are jugged with their mothers and receive care; lambs are weaned at around 90 days old; ewes recover over summer before the breeding season starts again in the fall.
Care and management of pregnant animals and lactating animals
The document provides guidelines for caring for cattle during late pregnancy, calving, and milking periods. It recommends feeding a high concentrate diet during late pregnancy, monitoring for calving symptoms, cleaning the external genital area after birth, and watching for milk fever. It also suggests providing clean water, legume fodder, moderate exercise, and vaccinations while avoiding slippery conditions or fighting with other animals.
Calf management
This document discusses management practices for calves, including neonatal calf care after birth, colostrum feeding, housing and environment, weaning, disease management, and vaccinations. Specifically, it emphasizes the importance of neonatal care like checking vital signs at birth, feeding colostrum in the first 24 hours to provide antibodies, providing a stress-free environment for housing, and vaccinating to protect calves due to their immature immune systems. The goal of these practices is to reduce calf mortality rates and support healthy development.
Poultry
This document discusses different types of poultry birds. It describes broilers as chickens bred specifically for meat production that reach slaughter weight between 4-7 weeks. Layers are described as egg-laying chickens raised commercially that lay eggs from 18-78 weeks of age. Desi or farm chickens are described as traditionally grown chickens allowed to roam freely without supplements that are taken to slaughter at the farmer's discretion.
Dairy terminology
The document defines dairy terminology including:
- Colostrum, the first milk produced after calving that is higher in nutrients and helps build immunity.
- The Babcock Test, a traditional method to measure butterfat in milk still used to calibrate modern tests.
- The California Mastitis Test, which detects somatic cells to determine inflammation in the udder.
- CWT, meaning 100 pounds of milk.
- Days in Milk, the number of days since the last calving until the current test date.

Abortion clinical case
Two abortion incidents occurred in January and March 2018 involving five ewes on a farm in Iraq. No animals had been introduced to the farm. Laboratory testing of dam serum was conducted. Brucellosis, which is not vaccinated against in Iraqi sheep and goats, was suspected as the cause based on the timing and occurrence of abortions during the third month of gestation across multiple ewes with no introduction of new animals.
Backyard Farming: Parturition in sheep and goats
Backyard Farming: Parturition in sheep and goatsUniversity of Maryland Extension Small Ruminant Program
This document provides information about what to expect during parturition (birthing) in sheep and goats. It discusses gestation length, signs that birth is impending, the three stages of birth (preparatory, labor, and cleaning), ensuring newborns receive colostrum, and aftercare including clipping the umbilical cord, providing warmth, and monitoring nursing. The key points are that birth typically occurs unassisted, it is important for newborns to consume colostrum within 24 hours for immunity, and farmers should provide support as needed while otherwise interfering as little as possible in the natural birthing process.Breastfeeding Welcome Here
This document recommends that businesses display a "Breastfeeding Welcome Here" decal in their window to attract breastfeeding families. It provides statistics showing that over 72% of women in Texas initiate breastfeeding, and that breastfeeding mothers perceive public breastfeeding as a barrier. However, Texas law allows mothers to breastfeed in any public location. The document suggests that displaying support for breastfeeding will make families feel welcome and increase the likelihood they will patronize the business.
Farm animals by maría grande
The document discusses the reproductive and dietary traits of different animals. It states that some animals are viviparous, being born from the mother's womb, and herbivores, eating only plants. Others are oviparous, being born from eggs, and either omnivores eating grains or viviparous and omnivores drinking milk.

Dairy Management
This document provides information on key aspects of dairy cow management. It discusses the lactation cycle and factors that influence calving interval such as heat detection and pregnancy rates. It also describes feeding methods for dairy cows including grazing, silage, and concentrates. The optimal systems balance efficient grass utilization with flexible rationing of cows according to yield and stage of lactation.
Feeding them
The document provides guidelines for feeding sheep and goats at different stages of production. It discusses nutrient requirements for maintenance, flushing, gestation, lactation, weaning, and growing lambs and kids. Feeding recommendations are given for different forage types and amounts of grain supplementation. Protein levels are outlined for various classes of animals. The goal is to meet nutritional needs at lowest cost while maintaining body condition.
Dairy farm cattle management
The document discusses the Rural Dairy Farmer Empowerment Program. It covers various topics related to dairy farming including principles of dairy farm management, factors affecting dairy herd production and health like nutrition, cow comfort and reproduction. It also discusses facilities, environment, calf rearing, breeding, milking methods and organic milk production. The key aspects covered are the three factors of nutrition, comfort and reproduction that determine dairy cow health and productivity and the life cycle of a dairy cow from birth to dry periods that can largely be managed through scheduled activities.
Calf management for dairy
Raising dairy calves requires knowledge, skill, and proper management practices to produce healthy replacement dairy cows. The document outlines the six phases of calf raising from birth to the pre-calving period. Key aspects include colostrum feeding within 2 hours of birth, hygienic housing and feeding, vaccination programs, and balanced nutrition to support growth targets at each stage to produce a cow ready for breeding by 15 months. Proper calf management is essential for herd health and economic success of dairy farming.
Calf management for dairy
Raising dairy calves requires knowledge, skill, and investment to produce healthy replacement dairy cows. The document outlines the six phases of calf raising from birth to calving: 1) pre-calving, 2) birth to weaning, 3) weaning to six months, 4) six months to breeding, 5) breeding to near-calving, and 6) near-calving. Key aspects discussed include colostrum feeding, housing, feeding schedules, vaccinations, and health management to produce calves that meet growth targets and are suitable to enter the milking herd. The goal is calves that calve at 24 months old and have longevity and high milk production.
Manual australiano de manejo de bezerros de corte [em inglês]
Weaning calves is primarily done to benefit the cow by reducing her nutritional demands and allowing her body condition to recover. This improves her chances of reconceiving in the next mating period. Removing the need to produce milk is equivalent to supplementing the cow with 2kg of grain or 3kg of molasses daily. Weaning is most effective when done before the cow's body condition declines, as occurs when pasture quality decreases late in the growing season. Maintaining the cow in good body condition (BCS 3 or higher) is important for high fertility and low mortality in the breeder herd.
Nutrition Of The Ewe And Lamb
This presentation by University of Maryland Extension Sheep & Goat Specialist Susan Schoenian discusses ewe nutrition from breeding until weaning and lamb nutrition from birth to weaning.
Getting Ready for Lambing & Kidding 2015
This document provides guidance on preparing for lambing and kidding during the last 4-6 weeks of gestation. Proper nutrition is critical to support fetal growth and mammary development. Energy is the most important nutrient and grain may need to be supplemented. Other important aspects are calcium, selenium, vitamins, and parasite management. Facilities and supplies should be prepared, including medications. Colostrum is vital and the dam is the best source. Overall husbandry should minimize stress during late gestation.
Managing a dairy cow
Dairy cows need to be fed the right quality and quantity of feed at all stages of growth, production, and maturity in order to produce optimal milk. The available local fodder may not provide sufficient nutrients, especially during dry seasons. Poor dairy management can lead to lost milk production, lower growth rates, and worse body condition. Supplementing dairy cow feed with strategic fodder, nutrients, and beneficial microbes can help improve digestion and maximize nutrient extraction and absorption to sustain high milk production levels. This guarantees farmers will get more milk, more calves, and healthier dairy cows.
Sheep nutrition
This document provides information on feeding and nutrition for sheep. It discusses the nutrient requirements of sheep that vary based on age, weight, and production stage. The major nutrient categories required are water, energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Feeding recommendations are provided for ewes at different production stages including breeding/flushing, early gestation, late gestation, and lactation. Recommendations are also given for feeding lambs including colostrum, milk/milk replacer, and creep feeding. Lastly, the document discusses ram feeding and ensuring rams are in proper body condition before breeding season.
Cattle Feeding Practices
The document discusses feeding strategies for young stock and cows. For young stock, proper feeding and care pre-weaning is critical. Growth must be balanced across development, condition, and size. For cows, feeding varies by lactation stage. During dry periods, cows should maintain condition without overfeeding. In early lactation, high-quality feed maximizes peak yield and fertility. Feeding is adjusted in mid-late lactation based on individual production levels.
Principles of Dairy Cow farm management
Three key factors that determine dairy herd health and productivity are nutrition, cow comfort, and reproduction. Cows must be well-fed, in a comfortable environment, and bred in a timely manner to achieve their production potential. Facilities should provide adequate shade, bedding, and access to fresh water and feed. Good hygiene and biosecurity help prevent disease transmission. The dairy cow's life cycle follows a predictable pattern from birth through lactation, breeding, calving, and culling or drying off. Close management during transition periods around calving impacts health, fertility and longevity.
Mineral & vitamin
Minerals, vitamins, water, energy, and protein are essential nutrients for dairy animals. Mineral supplements ensure animals receive adequate minerals to support bone and joint health. Dairy cows require 5 liters of water for every liter of milk produced, and water intake should increase in hot, dry seasons. Energy is needed for body maintenance, growth, reproduction, and milk production, so higher energy supplements are important during early lactation and pregnancy. Protein levels in forage depend on plant species and maturity, and supplements may be required to achieve 180-200g of protein per kg of forage.

Nutrition during Pregnancy and Lactation.pptx
This document discusses nutrition needs during pregnancy and lactation. It notes that the developing baby relies entirely on nutrients from the mother's diet. During pregnancy and lactation, a mother needs more energy, proteins, vitamins, and minerals to support her increased needs and the growth of the fetus/baby. Specifically, it recommends that protein intake for pregnant women be increased to 71g/day compared to 46g/day for non-pregnant women. Adequate calcium, iron, folate, and vitamin D are especially important for both mother and baby's development. Meeting increased nutritional needs through diet supports a healthy pregnancy and lactation.
Broodmare and Foal Care
- Broodmare and foal care requires significant time and effort to properly care for a pregnant mare and newborn foal. Proper planning and preparation is essential for a healthy pregnancy and birth.
- It is important to evaluate the health of both the mare and stallion prior to breeding. The mare needs to be in good health and receiving proper nutrition to support a full-term pregnancy.
- During pregnancy, the mare's health and nutrition must continue to be closely monitored. Vaccines and deworming are important to prevent disease transmission, and physical exercise and quality food/water are necessary to support the developing foal.
Animal reproductive goalsgoals..l8
The document defines common terminology used in livestock production related to reproduction, such as fertility, sterility, infertility, parturition, lactation period, dry period, calving interval, west average, herd average, and fecundity. It also discusses reproductive goals and measures of efficiency for dairy farms, including days open, calving interval, conception rate, services per conception, and pregnancy rate. Key goals are listed such as a dry period length of 45-60 days, average age at first calving of 24 months, and a calving interval of 12-13 months.
Breast Feeding
This document discusses the importance and benefits of breastfeeding. It provides information on:
- The nutritional and developmental benefits of breastmilk for infants in their first 6 months of life.
- Recommendations that infants be exclusively breastfed for 6 months with continued breastfeeding for up to 2 years.
- Common challenges with breastfeeding in India such as delaying initiation, discarding colostrum, and prelacteal feeding.
- The physiology of lactation and milk production.
- Techniques for proper latching and positioning during breastfeeding.
As 308 calf weaning and mortality 4
This document discusses guidelines for weaning and raising dairy replacement heifers. It recommends weaning calves based on weight and physical condition between 2.5-3.5 months. After weaning, heifers should be fed quality roughages, hay, silage and concentrates to support steady growth of 0.5-0.8 kg per day depending on breed. Heifers should calve at 15 months and weigh 300-350 kg for large breeds and 230-275 kg for small breeds to maximize future milk production potential. Both underfeeding and overfeeding heifers can negatively impact their health, fertility and lifetime productivity.
Heifer Nutrition Birth to Weaning
Jan Kleinschmidt talks about the importance of nutrition from birth to weaning. She covers topics like preparing the dam, colostrum management, milk replacers, calf starter, feeding hay, and weaning.
Lactation
Lactation is a demanding period that requires increased nutrition to support milk production and prevent health issues like ketosis and milk fever. Nutrient requirements, especially energy, protein, minerals, and water, increase during lactation. Proper nutrition includes a balanced ration formulated to meet the needs of individual animals based on factors like species, size, number of offspring, and forage quality. Body condition is important to monitor as females will lose weight while lactating but not to an extreme.
Late Gestation
This presentation is the first is a six part series on management of the ewe and doe from late gestation through weaning. This presentation covers late gestation: management and feeding.

AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
The Electrocardiogram - Physiologic Principles
These lecture slides, by Dr Sidra Arshad, offer a quick overview of the physiological basis of a normal electrocardiogram.
Learning objectives:
1. Define an electrocardiogram (ECG) and electrocardiography
2. Describe how dipoles generated by the heart produce the waveforms of the ECG
3. Describe the components of a normal electrocardiogram of a typical bipolar lead (limb II)
4. Differentiate between intervals and segments
5. Enlist some common indications for obtaining an ECG
6. Describe the flow of current around the heart during the cardiac cycle
7. Discuss the placement and polarity of the leads of electrocardiograph
8. Describe the normal electrocardiograms recorded from the limb leads and explain the physiological basis of the different records that are obtained
9. Define mean electrical vector (axis) of the heart and give the normal range
10. Define the mean QRS vector
11. Describe the axes of leads (hexagonal reference system)
12. Comprehend the vectorial analysis of the normal ECG
13. Determine the mean electrical axis of the ventricular QRS and appreciate the mean axis deviation
14. Explain the concepts of current of injury, J point, and their significance

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
