<FlashCard questions="8">
|q1= What is cobalt required for by the ruminant?
|a1= Production of vitamin B12 by the rumenal microflora.
|l1=Cobalt Deficiency - Sheep#Introduction
|q2= What is vitamin B12 required for?
|a2=
*Metabolism of propionate in energy production
*Metabolism of amino acids for wool growth
|l2= Cobalt Deficiency - Sheep#Introduction
|q3= What other species can be affected by cobalt deficiency?
|a3=
*Goats
*Cattle
*Deer
|l3= Cobalt Deficiency - Sheep#Signalment
|q4= What age of sheep is most susceptible and why?
|a4= Growing lambs >6 weeks old
*Highest requirement for vitamin b12 and energy when growing
*Younger lambs use glucose for energy so have a low requirement
|l4= Cobalt Deficiency - Sheep#Signalment
|q5=What are the common clinical signs?
|a5=
*Stunted growth
*Poor condition
*Anaemia
*Ketosis
*Poor fleece
*Weakness
*Conjunctivitis
|l5= Cobalt Deficiency - Sheep#Clinical Signs
|q6= What is white liver disease and how does it present?
|a6= It is fatty degeneration of the liver caused by cobalt deficiency.
This causes hepatic failure which can present as:
*Hepatic encephalopathy
*Photosensitisation
|l6= Cobalt Deficiency - Sheep#Clinical Signs
|q7= What can be tested in blood to give an indication of cobalt status?
|a7=
*Cobalt
*Vitamin B12
*MMA
*FIGLU
|l7= Cobalt Deficiency - Sheep#Diagnosis
|q8= How can cobalt be supplemented?
*B12 injection
*Cobalt top dressing
*Cobalt spraying of crops/forage
*Intra-rumenal boluses
|l8= Cobalt Deficiency - Sheep#Control
