3. Why do indoor-reared piglets need supplementary iron in the first days of life?

  1. Sow's colostrum contains an iron-chelating protein that blocks iron uptake in the piglet's gut
  2. Piglets lose most of their iron through the umbilical cord bleeding that follows farrowing
  3. Piglet haemoglobin cannot bind iron until the thymus matures at about three weeks of age
  4. They are born with small iron reserves, sow's milk is low in iron and they cannot root in soil
Answer and working

D. They are born with small iron reserves, sow's milk is low in iron and they cannot root in soil

Low birth reserves, low iron in sow's milk, very fast growth and no access to soil together make iron-deficiency anaemia predictable. Iron injection in the first days of life is the usual prevention.

4. Under India's National Animal Disease Control Programme, which animals receive brucellosis vaccination?

  1. All adult bulls, every six months, before the breeding season
  2. All sheep and goats, once a year, with the S19 vaccine
  3. Female bovine calves aged 4-8 months, once in their lifetime
  4. Pregnant cows in the last trimester, with RB51 annually
Answer and working

C. Female bovine calves aged 4-8 months, once in their lifetime

NADCP vaccinates female cattle and buffalo calves aged 4-8 months once with Brucella abortus S19. Bulls are not vaccinated; small ruminants would need Rev.1, not S19; and vaccinating pregnant cows with live Brucella vaccines risks abortion.

Preventive Veterinary Medicine II: Viral and Parasitic Diseases · National disease control programmes: FMD, brucellosis, rabies, HS and BQ

5. Under the WOAH Terrestrial Code, which body is the 'Veterinary Authority' of a country?

  1. The veterinary statutory body that registers veterinarians, keeps the register and disciplines members for professional misconduct across the country
  2. Any private veterinarian accredited to sign export certificates for one exporter, acting on behalf of that exporting company
  3. The national food-safety agency that sets residue limits and inspects retail shops, acting without any animal-health role
  4. The governmental authority responsible across the whole territory for animal health and welfare measures and international veterinary certification
Answer and working

D. The governmental authority responsible across the whole territory for animal health and welfare measures and international veterinary certification

The Code defines the Veterinary Authority as the governmental authority, comprising veterinarians and other staff, that has responsibility and competence for animal health and welfare measures and international veterinary certification in the whole territory. The statutory body regulates the profession; accredited private vets are part of the wider Veterinary Services but are not the Authority.
