- Sedation: inducing a relaxed state through the use of sedatives.
- Sporulated oocyst: the infective stage of coccidian parasites that has undergone division through spore formation.
- Subcutaneous injection: administering drugs or compounds just beneath the skin.
- Transmissible disease: a disease that spreads from one host to another, whether of the same or different species.
- Trivalent vaccine: a vaccine containing a mixture of three different strains or biotypes of the same organism.
- Tympany: excessive accumulation of gas in the rumen.
- Vaccinates: animals that have been vaccinated.
- Vaccination: the process of administering a vaccine.
- Vaccine: a preparation containing live, dead, inactivated, modified, or attenuated organisms designed to induce immunity to a specific disease.
- Vector: an agent (usually arthropods) capable of transmitting a pathogen from one organism to another, either mechanically as a carrier or biologically by playing a specific role in the pathogen's life cycle.
- Virulent: capable of causing disease.
Livestock Diseases
- Livestock diseases pose a significant threat to farmers and their productivity.
- Good livestock husbandry practices are essential for ensuring optimal production.
- In commercial farms, animal health plays a crucial role in productivity.
- Tropical climates, like those found in the Philippines, are conducive to the growth and propagation of pathogens, making the environment rife with diseases and their vectors.
- Major livestock diseases of economic importance in the Philippines include Foot and Mouth Disease, Hemorrhagic Septicemia, Hog Cholera, and Newcastle Disease.
- Anthrax, a livestock disease with primary public health importance, is found primarily in mountainous areas of northern Luzon.
Disease Causation
- The mere presence of a disease agent does not always lead to disease.
- For example, Pasteurella multocida is a natural inhabitant of the respiratory system of large ruminants, but it only causes Pasteurellosis under stressful conditions that weaken the animal's natural defenses.
Parasite Infections
- Parasite infections can be acquired through various ways, including:
- Ingestion of infective stages through food and water
- Ingestion of infective stages through arthropods (e.g., grasshoppers, cockroaches, mites, beetles, ants, dragonflies)
- Ingestion of infective stages through snails, slugs, and earthworms
- Inoculation of infective stages through bites of arthropods (e.g., ticks and flies)
- Penetration of infective stages through the skin

### Quality of Vaccines
- The publication emphasizes the importance of high-quality vaccines and provides key considerations for selecting an ideal vaccine.
- An excellent vaccine is highly immunogenic meaning it should induce high levels of protective antibodies in vaccinated animals.

Vaccines
-
Features of an Excellent Vaccine
- High immunogenicity (at least 95% protection)
- Stimulates adequate antibody levels
- Stimulates both humoral and cellular immune responses
- Safe (does not produce disease, spread infection, induce carrier state, revert to virulent state, cause toxic reactions, or allergic reactions)
- Stable in storage
- Cheap
-
Guidelines for Vaccination/Use of Vaccines
- Vaccinate only healthy animals
- Do not vaccinate during very hot or wet weather
- Avoid stress on the animal during vaccination
- Do not use expired vaccines
- Store vaccines in a refrigerator or at cold temperatures
- Transport vaccines in an ice chest or with cracked ice
Parasites
-
Toxocara vitulorum Life Cycle
- Infective eggs are ingested by the calf
- Larvae hatch in the small intestine and migrate to the liver, then lungs
- Larvae travel to the trachea, are swallowed, and mature in the small intestine of the calf
- Adult worms lay eggs that pass out with manure, infecting pastures
-
Ascaris suis Life Cycle
- Larvae develop inside eggs
- Eggs are ingested by the host
- Larvae are released in the small intestine and penetrate the intestinal wall
- Larvae travel to the liver and lungs via the blood
- Larvae in the lungs migrate to the trachea, are swallowed, and mature in the small intestine
Animal Health in the Philippines
- Poor animal health practices among smallholder farmers lead to financial losses due to diseases and parasites.
- This text aims to guide livestock and poultry technicians, technologists, and farmers with basic veterinary practices for primary animal healthcare.
Improving Animal Health
- Encourage adoption of preventive veterinary interventions and acceptable practices in animal production
- Increase healthy, vigorous, and prolific livestock and poultry populations in the countryside
- Reduce financial losses due to diseases and parasitism
Key Topics
- Hygiene and Sanitation program
- Parasite control programs
Parasite Control Programs
- Economic Losses: Parasite burdens result in decreased body weight, milk production, organ condemnation, feed conversion efficiency, reproductive performance and reduced resistance to other infections.
-
Types of parasites:
- Ectoparasites: Live on external surfaces of the body like lice, ticks, mites, and flies
- Endoparasites: Inhabit internal organs like lungworms, liverflukes, kidney worms, and intestinal worms
-
Modes of transmission:
- Mechanical transmission: Infective stage of the parasite enters the animal's body directly, without involvement of another organism. This applies to parasites with direct life cycles.
- Biological transmission: Infective stage of the parasite develops in another organism, which then transmits the parasite to the susceptible host. This applies to parasites with indirect life cycles.
Importance of Parasite Control
- Prevent economic losses: Reduce financial losses due to parasite-induced health problems
- Improve animal productivity: Increases overall animal health and performance
- Upgrading indigenous breeds: Indigenous breeds are naturally resistant to parasites. However, upgrading to other breeds may result in increased susceptibility to parasite diseases.
