A) About Cows:
1. What are the  5 most common pathologies of cows? Mention them and give a little description too.
I. Bovine salmonellosis
Disease of the digestive system characterized by septicemia and enteritis, animals can be passive carriers and constitutes a big problem in the productive units where it remains. Salmonellosis in calves presents some variants with respect to the disease in adult bovines.


II.
Aphtose fever
It is a highly contagious viral disease, with an acute course and high morbidity and mortality. It is characterized by lesions and erosions in the epithelium of the mouth, nostrils, nose, legs, teats, udder and pillars of the herbarium.
The disease is caused by an enterovirus sensitive to changes in pH, exposure to sunlight and high temperatures.


III.
Botulism
It is a deadly motor paralysis in cattle, caused by the ingestion of toxins in food, is more frequent in places where there is adequate management of excreta and where the sanitary management of the pasture is deficient.


IV.
Bovine leucosis
Also known as lymphosarcoma or malignant lymphoma. It is a malignant proliferation of leucositus-producing tissue. In some cases, the disease is considered a type of leukemia.
This disease is caused by bovine leuc
osis virus (VLB), transmission is produced by the transfer of lymphocytes from a contaminated animal.  


V.
Bovine tuberculosis
It is an infectious disease caused by pathogenic bacilli resistant to acid. It is a progressive disease of acute and very debilitating course.
The focus of the infection is located in the lung, forming a granular mass resembling a tumor or tuber, then there is a formation of caseous masses with a tendency to mineralization.
 

 



2. Publish a picture of the cow's digestive system (with names)
 


3. Publish a picture of the cow's external anatomy  (with names)



B) Choose one of these farm animals:  pig, horse or rabbit.
1. Choose a good website that refers to your animal. Explain why you like the website. (50 words)

 

https://www.thehorse.com/
I liked the website because it has all the necessary information about the horses, very complete. Not only does it have general information about horses, as it has more specific information about caring, feeding and other topics, so you can know, for example, how to care for a horse throughout his life, depending on the habitat, the time of year and state in which the animal is.
 

2. Find a good picture showing (with names) the animal's external anatomy.
