Questions and Answers

1.

Which of the following is not a kind of vaccination?
- A.
  
  Intravenous
- B.
  
  Subcuticular
- C.
  
  Extramental
- D.
  
  Intramuscular
Correct Answer
C. Extramental

Explanation
Extramental is not a kind of vaccination because it is not a recognized method of administering vaccines. The other options listed - intravenous, subcuticular, and intramuscular - are all valid methods of delivering vaccines into the body. Intravenous vaccination involves injecting the vaccine directly into a vein, subcuticular vaccination involves injecting the vaccine just under the skin, and intramuscular vaccination involves injecting the vaccine into a muscle. However, extramental vaccination is not a recognized term or method in the field of immunization.

Which of the following is known to cause founder in horses?
- A.
  
  Too much hay
- B.
  
  Too much work
- C.
  
  Not enough cool out time after riding
- D.
  
  Too much spring grass
Correct Answer
D. Too much spring grass

Explanation
Too much spring grass is known to cause founder in horses. Founder, also known as laminitis, is a painful and potentially debilitating condition that affects the hooves of horses. Spring grass is particularly high in sugar content, which can lead to an overload of carbohydrates in the horse's system. This can disrupt the delicate balance of bacteria in the horse's gut, leading to inflammation and damage to the sensitive laminae in the hooves. Therefore, excessive consumption of spring grass can trigger founder in horses.

- B.

Correct Answer(s)
A. Food dropping out of the mouth
B. Becomes extra moody in the pasture
C. Becomes moody during rides

Explanation
The correct answer options indicate signs that may suggest a horse needs dental care. If food is dropping out of the horse's mouth, it could indicate dental issues that affect their ability to chew properly. If the horse becomes extra moody in the pasture or during rides, it could be a sign of discomfort or pain caused by dental problems. These signs may indicate the need for a dental examination and potential treatment for the horse's teeth.

How often should horses be shod?

Correct Answer(s)
every six to eight weeks
six weeks
eight weeks

Explanation
Horses should be shod every six to eight weeks, as this is the general recommendation by farriers and equine experts. The hooves of horses grow continuously, and regular shoeing helps maintain their balance, support, and overall hoof health. The exact timing may vary depending on factors such as the horse's individual hoof growth rate, activity level, and the type of terrain they are exposed to. However, a six to eight-week interval provides a good balance between allowing enough hoof growth and preventing excessive wear or damage to the hooves. Both six weeks and eight weeks are correct answers as they fall within this recommended timeframe.

What are signs of colic?

Correct Answer(s)
lack of gut sounds
horse biting stomach
excess and continuous rolling and tossing
pacing

Explanation
The signs of colic include a lack of gut sounds, horse biting the stomach, excess and continuous rolling and tossing, and pacing. These symptoms indicate that the horse may be experiencing abdominal pain and discomfort. Lack of gut sounds suggests that the normal movement of the intestines is disrupted. Horse biting the stomach is a sign of discomfort and pain. Excess and continuous rolling and tossing are abnormal behaviors that indicate distress. Pacing is another sign of discomfort and restlessness. These signs collectively suggest that the horse is likely suffering from colic.
