Only female bees can sting. Male bees don’t have stingers.

Honey bees communicate through a series of dance moves.

A hive of bees will fly over 55,000 miles to make 1lb of honey and can create 100lbs of honey in a year.

Bees can sense the hormone a human gives off when they’re scared. If they feel their hive is threatened they’ll attack.

The Honey Bee is the only insect that makes food man can eat.

Each Honey Bee from the same hive has their own specific color identification.

The Ancient Egyptian King Pepy II came up with a clever insect repellent. He would cover a slave completely with honey so they would be attracted to the honey and not him.

Actinobacillosis, more commonly known as ‘Wooden Tongue’, is caused by the bacterium , which is commonly found in the and is a normal inhabitant of the bovine mouth. The bacteria can pe*****te the skin or mucous membranes through cuts or caused by coarse feed, traumatic injury etc. It is usually seen as sporadic cases, but some herds have a more frequent occurrence of the disease.


Inflammation of the gums

Hard, tongue which may protrude from the mouth

mouth

Dropping of food due to inability of the tongue to move properly

Formation of granulomas (soft tissue areas of inflammation) on other parts of the body due to spread of infection to the skin

Enlarged or infected lymph nodes of the head and neck

and/or weight loss due to inability to eat properly


If treatment is started during the early stage of disease, it can be very successful. (penicillins or tetracyclines) are appropriate. Intravenous sodium iodide given on days 0, 7 and 28, can be beneficial. Prognosis is good if disease is identified and treated early. Once the disease progresses to chronic, the prognosis becomes poor.

occurs when the bovine uterus protrudes after . It is most common in dairy cattle and can occur in beef cows occasionally with .It is not as commonly seen in heifers, but occasionally can be seen in dairy heifers

Uterine prolapse is considered a that puts the cow at risk of shock or death by blood loss.Factors during calving that increase the risk of uterine prolapse include: calving complications that cause injury or irritation of the external birth canal, severe straining during , and excessive pressure when a calf is manually extracted.

Non-calving factors include nutrition problems such as low blood calcium, magnesium, protein, or generally poor body conditions.In a complete uterine prolapse, the uterine horns also come out. When this happens, the uterus will hang below the hocks of the animal.When the uterus hangs below the hocks, the cow may lie on, step on or kick the exposed tissue, which increases the risk of rupturing a major artery.The uterus can become easily infected as it bruises easily and can become covered with manure.
Uterine prolapse occurs after calving when the is open and the uterus lacks tone. It occurs most commonly in the hours after calving, but may also occur up to a week later.
●
When the uterine prolapse does not occur directly after calving, it can be more for the cow. It is most likely that during , the uterus was slightly everted, which suggests that the prolapse did not take place until after the calf was born .In these cases, the uterus is more likely to be infected. This increases the possibility that the uterus cannot be replaced in the animal, and must instead be removed.

●
There is no way to completely prevent uterine prolapse. To reduce the risk, cows are returned to a standing position and encouraged to move around as soon as possible after calving. This is especially important in cases where a calf is pulled to assist the mother. When the cow stands, the uterus normally drops back into the abdominal cavity, which straightens out the uterine horns.

●Watch for activity. If a cow is not coming back into heat after approximately 21 days, nor is showing any signs heat activity any time between day 21 to day 45 post-breeding (or even an estimated breeding date if you weren't there to see it happen), then it's likely that she has been successfully settled

●Study the of the . If the bull is not paying any to a that has since gone out of , and continues to not pay any attention to her when you suspect she should be coming into heat about 18 to 24 days later, then it's very likely that that cow has been bred.

●Look for the . This is probably the one of the best ways to tell if a cow has been bred: A , or a tail that is held out in an odd angle than normal, will be displayed by the cow or heifer for about 24 to 48 hours after being by the bull.It is one of the best ways because you can determine almost the day that a cow has been serviced. If you're one or two days off, that is not a problem.

●Look for , mud or bare patches over the 's hindquarters. Also an indication of mating and estrus activity, it is another useful way to see if a cow has been serviced or not.

These characteristics should be used to note breeding activity, but only if there is a breeding bull with the females. The raised patches only indicate that a cow or heifer is in heat

●Look for from the ***a. A female that has recently been bred by the herd bull--often within an hour or so--will usually have come from her v***a. This would be seminal fluid from the bull, as often not all the semen that is ej******ed into the cow or heifer makes it through the into the ; almost half of it is excreted back out again.

●The . The most obvious indicator that a cow has been bred if you just caught the sight of your and ej*******ng into one of your cows. The whole event, as it can be called, only takes a matter of a few seconds, so if you're able to see it, then consider yourself lucky. Usually a bull will mate with a cow once, but it's not uncommon if it's done several times, especially if she has garnered the attention of more than one.

《CHRONIC RESPIRATORY DISEASE》 ( )

♧♧♧♧♧♧

is a disease, caused by . M. Gallisepticum causes a Respiratory disease, affecting the entire Respiratory tract, particularly the airsacs where it localizes. All may be involved because cloudy in appearance and filled with mucus. In the later stages , mucus develops a yellow colour and cheesy consistency.

M.gallisepticum infection is extremely important both in and . While it's not a great killer. Affected laying flocks have been shown to produce as many as 20 fewer eggs per year than normal flocks. Also it is an important egg-transmitted disease.

The disease is by abnormal Respiratory sounds, coughing and nasal discharge. Symptoms are usually slow to develop and the disease has along course. Complicated CRD ( ) , also known as airsac disease is a severe airsacculitis, which occurs when M. Gallisepticum infection gets complicated by E.coli and some Respiratory virus infections.

●CRD through the following ways

-Infection is usually transmitted through the hatching egg. This is the major means of spread.

-carrier birds 🐦 are responsible for transmitting the disease. Direct contact of susceptible birds 🐦 with the infected carrier chickens causes outbreaks of the disease

- spread may also occur by contaminated dust, droplets or feathers 🪶 carried through the air.

- People are important carriers.

●The major symptoms may include

1. In adult flocks symptoms include abnormal Respiratory sounds, nasal discharge, sneezing, coughing, and breathing through the open beak. Feed consumption is reduced and birds 🐦 lose weight

2. In laying flocks, egg Production 🥚 decreases , and the disease is usually more severe during winter.

3. In young chicks there is rattling, sneezing, and sniffing, all indicative of a respiratory difficulty.

4. In broilers, most out breaks occur between 2 to 5 weeks of age

5. However, the appearance of disease depends, as already mentioned, on the presence at the same time of other disease-producing organisms, or stress factors. Uncomplicated infections usually cause no symptoms or cause mortality only in the very young.

*NOTE*
Treatment is only a temporary solution and is usually quite expensive. Removal of infection is the most satisfactory means of control.

Since M.gallisepticum is transmitted through eggs 🥚, maintaining chicken flocks free of M.gallisepticum is only possible by obtaining replacement flocks that are known to be free of the infection, and rearing them in strict isolation to avoid Introduction of the disease..
