- Propionate
- A rumen fermentation product that contributes importantly to glucose production in the relevant ruminant metabolic pathway.
- Transition period
- The production stage around calving in which changing intake and demand can interact with metabolic and infectious disease risk.
- Herd denominator
- The defined animal group at risk or assessed, needed to interpret a disease count or production measurement.
- Presentation
- The fetal longitudinal relationship to the maternal birth canal in the relevant obstetrical description, distinct from position and posture.
- Posture
- The arrangement of relevant fetal extremities and head in an obstetrical assessment, considered with presentation, position and maternal factors.
- Subclinical mastitis
- Udder inflammation without the full overt clinical pattern, assessed using suitable measurements and investigations rather than appearance alone.
- Corium
- The vascular and sensitive tissue associated with the claw, relevant to horn production, mechanical injury and lesion assessment.
- White-line lesion
- A lesion involving the relevant junctional region of claw horn, interpreted with depth, infection and the actual loading environment.
- Locomotion score
- A structured description of observed movement under a defined scheme, which does not alone establish one anatomical or infectious diagnosis.
- Refugia
- The parasite population not exposed to a particular treatment selection pressure, relevant to resistance management within an appropriate animal-health programme.
- Pregnancy toxemia
- A metabolic disorder associated with late-gestation energy imbalance in susceptible small ruminants, requiring individual clinical and nutritional assessment.
- Species-specific mineral risk
- The differing biological handling and tolerance of minerals among animals, which makes one species ration unsuitable as a universal feed for another.
- Morphological diagnosis
- A structured description of a lesion by features such as organ, distribution, severity, duration and type of pathological process.
- Autolysis
- Postmortem tissue degradation that can obscure diagnostic architecture or complicate distinction between actual disease and later change.
- Immunohistochemistry
- A tissue technique identifying selected antigens using antibodies, interpreted with controls, morphology and the actual test limitations.
- Sensitivity
- The proportion of animals with the defined target condition that the selected test classifies positive under its stated conditions.
- Positive predictive value
- The proportion of positive test results representing the target condition, which depends on the population as well as test properties.
- Withdrawal obligation
- The applicable restriction relating an actual medicine use to food production, determined by the relevant product and current rules.
- Pharmacokinetics
- The processes determining drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination in the relevant species and individual patient.
- Ventilation
- Movement of air into and out of the respiratory system, not the same function as oxygenation measured by saturation.
- Stewardship
- A responsible system of prevention, diagnostic reasoning, justified antimicrobial selection and review that aims to preserve effective treatment.
- IS ABV
- The Swiss veterinary antibiotic information system for relevant prescribing data, interpreted within its actual scope, exceptions and current reporting process.
- Exclusion investigation
- A defined early-detection diagnostic pathway that is distinct from the competent-authority response to an established concrete reportable-disease suspicion.
- Current product context
- The actual medicine authorization, species, formulation, indication and use information needed before interpreting prescribing and food-chain requirements.
