A)             About Cows:

1.   What are the 5 most common pathologies of cows? Mention them and give a little description too.

·         ·        Foot and Mouth Disease 

Foot and mouth disease is a highly contagious disease in livestock that causes lesions similar to blisters on the tongue, nose, mouth and toes of the animals.

·         ·        Brucellosis and tuberculosis 

Brucellosis and tuberculosis are two highly contagious diseases carried by cattle. Similar in nature, these diseases are spread by infected material during calving. The diseases threaten humans, because the unpasteurized milk of infected cattle can spread the disease.

·        Anthrax disease of cattles

Anthrax, a highly infectious and fatal disease of cattles, is caused by a relatively large spore-forming rectangular shaped bacterium called Bacillus anthracis. Hoofed animals, such as deer, cattle, goats, and sheep, are the main animals affected by this disease. They usually get the disease by swallowing anthrax spores while grazing on pasture contaminated (made impure) with anthrax spores.

·        Bracken Poisoning

Bracken poisoning most commonly occurs in the fall when grass does not grow. Bracken is a plant that contains toxins poisonous to animals who graze. Bracken is considered cancerous and is almost always fatal to infected livestock.

·        Anaemia – Theileria

Anaemia in animals is often caused by bush ticks that attach themselves to the livestock. The disease creates symptoms similar to anaemia in humans: lethargy, loss of appetite, inability to exercise. Cattle with anaemia may have pale/yellow colored gums and abort babies if pregnant.

1. Choose a good website that refers to your animal. Explain why you like the website. (50 words)

I choose the site House Rabbit Society because in addition to information on rabbits, it is a foundation that rescues and protects. Within this site we find news, images, and information of this noble cause, in addition this page have a system to make to partner and help from your home.

                I think that this it’s a very good page where we can   happen for millions of feeling and will have the hope of create a better world.
