Body conditioning and its effects on conception in cows are very important because cows should have and wean a calf every:

• 6 months

• 12 months

• 18 months

• 24 months

A major advantage of synchronization of estrus in cows and heifers is:

• higher conception rates

• less uniform calf crop.

• lower level of management required.

• reduced breeding and calving seasons.

Arranging the breeding schedule so that groups of sows farrow at regular intervals throughout the year is called:

• double farrowing

• multiple farrowing

• seasonal farrowing.

• single farrowing

In breeding flock management, eggs are gathered several times per day and packed:

• with large end up

• with large end down

• with dirt and manure on them.

• in random positions

What type of breeding is used because of the low fertility problems and the large size of male turkeys?

• artificial insemination

• Confinement breeding

• embryo transfer

• natural breeding

Which preventive maintenance procedure is performed as a part of breeding flock management to prevent the spread of diseases from eggs?

• Adding vitamins to feed

• Fumigating with formaldehyde

• Spraying with insecticides

• Sorting eggs at 80 percent humidity

When a beef cow is artificially inseminated, a gloved hand is inserted into the animal’s rectum to guide the inseminating rod through the:

• infundibulum.

• vas deferens

• cervix

• fallopian tube

Removing a nucleus from an embryo before the embryo is implanted in the uterine wall and placing the nucleus into a mature, unfertilized egg cell is nuclear transfer or:

• artificial insemination.

• crossbreeding

• embryo cloning.

• palpation

One of the major advantages of embryo cloning is:

• genetically uniform offspring.

• genetically diverse offspring

• high costs.

• low success rates.

Brucellosis testing, pregnancy diagnosis testing, and treating scours are applications of:

• bovine somatotropin production.

• embryo transfer

• monoclonal antibody technology.

• bioengineered vaccines.
