===Testing Colostrum Quality===
*'''''The quality of the colostrum was inadequate'''''
<FlashCard questions="9">
||[[Materno-fetal immunity - WikiBlood#Failure of passive transfer (FPT)|<span title="Answer article">Link to Answer Article</span>]]
|q1=True or False: Colostrum quality can not be determined by appearance

||<font color="white"> <big>
|q2=How can colostrum be stored without reducing its immunological potential?
*'''''Breed'''''
|a2=

*'''''Milk yield'''''
|a3=
*'''''Pre-milking'''''
*By a colostrometer
*'''''Parity'''''
*Through using the Zinc Sulfate Turbidity (ZST) test

|l3=Colostrum Quality Testing
|q4=Which immunoglobulin levels does a colostrometer measure?
|a4=IgG
||<font color="white"> <big>
|l4=Colostrum Quality Testing
*'''''Amount the neonate suckles'''''
|q5=Why must colostrum be tested by a colostrometer at room temperature (20°C)?
*'''''Premature births'''''
|a5=
||[[Materno-fetal immunity - WikiBlood#Failure of passive transfer (FPT)|<span title="Answer article">Link to Answer Article</span>]]
*Above 20°C levels of IgG will be underestimated
|}
*Below 20°C levels of IgG will be overestimated
|l5=Colostrum Quality Testing
|q6=What levels of ZST units would indicate a healthy amount of passive transfer in calves?
|a6=Above 30 ZST units
<br>
|l6=Colostrum Quality Testing
<br>
|q7=What levels of serum immunoglobulin would indicate a healthy amount of passive transfer in foals?
<big><center>[[Materno-fetal immunity - WikiBlood|'''BACK TO MATERNO-FETAL IMMUNITY''']]</center></big>
|a7=Above 800 mg/dl
|l7=Colostrum Quality Testing
|q8=What is total serum protein levels measured by and at which ages should neonates be tested?
|a8=
*A refractometer
*2-8 days old
|l8=Colostrum Quality Testing
|q9=What levels of serum protein indicate the neonate is healthy and does not require further colostrum?
|a9=Above 4.5 mg/dl
|l9=Colostrum Quality Testing
</FlashCard>
===Neonatal Isoerythrolysis (NI)===
<FlashCard questions="3">
|q1=When does alloimmune haemalytic anaemia occur?
|a1=
*When a neonate inherits the sires blood type and drinks colostrum from the dam
*As the colostrum contains antibodies against the sire and thus the neonates red blood cells
|l1=Neonatal Isoerythrolysis
|q2=When does Neonatal Isoerythrolysis occur?
|a2=
*First pregnancy from a stallion with incompatible blood type to the mare
*Subsequent pregnancy from the same stallion or same blood group as previously exposed to
|l2=Neonatal Isoerythrolysis
|q3=True or False: Neonatal Isoerythrolysis always occurs in mules
|a3=True
|l3=Neonatal Isoerythrolysis
