[#441] Undescended condition of the testes into the scrotal sac is known as
Correct Answer

(A) Cryptorchidism

Explanation

Solution: Undescended condition of the testes into the scrotal sac is known as Cryptorchidism. Cryptorchidism, also known as undescended testis, is the failure of one or both testes to descend into the scrotum. It is the most common birth defect of the male genital tract. About 3% of full-term and 30% of premature infant boys are born with at least one undescended testis.

[#442] Legal standard for SNF (solid not fat) content of sheep and goat milk is
Correct Answer

(C) 9.0%

Explanation

Solution: Legal Standard for SNF (solid not fat) content of sheep and goat milk is 9.0%. SNF or solids not fat is that nutrient portion present in milk that is other than milk fat and water. It consists of protein, carbohydrates (primarily lactose), and minerals (including calcium and phosphorus. When SNF is combined with milk fat, then it is called total solids. The legal standards for Goat or sheep milk specify that it may be either raw pasteurized, boiled, flavoured, or sterilized milk containing minimum milk fats of 3.5% or minimum milk SNF of 9%.

[#443] Mad itch is mostly a disease of

Aujeszky's disease, or mad itch, is a viral disease mainly of cattle and swine but also affects sheep, goats, dogs, cats, raccoons, opossums, skunks and rodents.

[#444] Scrapie is (a). . . . . . . .
Correct Answer

(A) Progressive fatal disease of CNS

Explanation

Solution: Scrapie is a Progressive fatal disease of CNS. Scrapie is a fatal, degenerative disease affecting the nervous systems of sheep and goats. It is one of several transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), and as such it is thought to be caused by a prion. Scrapie and other transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are caused by prion disease. Prions were determined to be the infectious agent because transmission is difficult to prevent with heat, radiation and disinfectants, the agent does not evoke any detectable immune response, and it has a long incubation period of between 18 months and 5 years.

[#445] Urea supplementation is not recommended if CP content of ruminant diet is above
Correct Answer

(D) 13%

Explanation

Solution: Urea supplementation is not recommended if CP content of ruminant diet is above 13%. Crude protein measures the nitrogen content of a feedstuff, including both true protein and non-protein nitrogen. The general rule of thumb is that forages with a CP concentration of 7% or greater are adequate to meet a mature cow's CP requirements. But if it is above 13% urea supplementation is not recommended. The amount of urea included in concentrate mixtures for cattle or sheep should not exceed 3% and usually the addition of 1 to 1.5% will prove adequate.
