Question 1
When diagnosing Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) in a dairy herd using ultrasound-guided rumenocentesis, which rumen fluid pH threshold in at least 25% to 30% of sampled high-yielding transition cows confirms herd-level SARA?
Correct Answer:
Rumen fluid pH below 5.5 sampled 4 to 8 hours after a total mixed ration (TMR) feeding
Question 2
Which serum or whole-blood beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) concentration cutoff measured by an electronic point-of-care handheld meter defines subclinical ketosis in early lactation dairy cows?
Correct Answer:
BHB >= 1.2 to 1.4 mmol/L
Question 3
A 4-year-old Swiss Fleckvieh cow 14 days postpartum presents with anorexia, selective concentrate refusal, decreased rumen motility, and a high-pitched resonant 'ping' on simultaneous auscultation and percussion over the left 9th to 12th intercostal spaces. What characteristic serum biochemical abnormalities are typically expected in this uncomplicated Left Displaced Abomasum (LDA) case?
Correct Answer:
Hypochloremic, hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis with paradoxical aciduria
Question 4
A dairy cow presents with acute severe abdominal pain, tachycardia (115 bpm), cool extremities, dehydration (>8%), and a large resonant percussion area in the right cranial abdomen extending to the 8th rib. Blood analysis reveals severe hypochloremia (68 mmol/L) and an elevated plasma L-lactate concentration of 6.5 mmol/L. What is the primary diagnosis and prognostic interpretation?
Correct Answer:
Right Abomasal Volvulus (RAV) with ischemic wall necrosis; poor to guarded surgical prognosis due to severe hyperlactatemia
Question 5
What is the primary physiological mechanism by which a negative Dietary Cation-Anion Difference (DCAD) diet fed to dry cows in the final 3 weeks prepartum prevents clinical and subclinical hypocalcemia at calving?
Correct Answer:
It induces a mild systemic metabolic acidosis that enhances tissue sensitivity to parathyroid hormone (PTH) and upregulates 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 synthesis
