Animal identification is done when a calf is born. It is one of the most important tasks, as identification is essential for keeping genetic information as accurate as possible. Permanent identification can be done by either tattoo or tamper-proof eartags.
Calves identification by tattoos must be done before leaving individual pens or ties. One or both ears may be used; and the letter, numbers or both can be used for tattooing. No two animals of the same sex in the same herd may have the same tattoo. Tattoos must include at least one letter and one number. Tattoos may not exceed a total of seven letters and numbers in each ear. It is the owner’s responsibility to maintain a valid and legible tattoo in the ear of each animal owned.
The Basic Procedure
1. Select any letter
2. Number the calves consecutively from 1 to 999, the number preceded by the letter you have selected. For example, if you select A as your letter, the tattoos will read A1, A2, A3, and so on.
3. Put the same tattoo in

Docking
Docking is when the tail is shortened. Docking improves the health and welfare of sheep and lambs. The tail protects the sheep’s anus, vulva, and udder from weather extremes. Sheep lift their tail when they defecate and use their tail, to some extent, to scatter their feces. The ancestor of most modern sheep breeds (Mouflon) is a hair sheep with a short tail. Centuries of selection for wool production has resulted in sheep with long, woolly tails which usually require docking.
Sheep Tail Banding
All lambs are born with tails, much longer than what most adult sheep have. Much like many canines, such as cocker spaniels, sheep have their tails docked by their owners through a process called “banding.” The method is performed with the

Many pet owners believe that animals clean their own teeth naturally by chewing on bones, sticks, or other items in nature. While it may be true that animals in the wild chew to clean their teeth, they do not avoid oral diseases or the systemic infections that follow. In addition, animals in the wild are not eating processed foods that deposit plaque on the teeth—more likely they are eating entire rodents and other small prey, bones included. As chewing and tearing apart a kill can scrape teeth and massage gums, these animals suffer from broken teeth and a variety of problems in the mouth that contribute to illness and early death.
Domestic pets enjoy veterinary care that includes regular oral exams and teeth cleaning, preventive measures that allow for disease prevention and an extended life. Pets who do not receive dental care often suffer from gum disease as early as age 3. This leads to more serious health problems including heart, lung, and kidney disease. Preventing these problems
It has usually been observed that the dog owner does not have an idea what is this oral tumor is all about and how it can be cured. And such kind of tumor is usually found in old dogs but the by giving mere a closer look at their dog can let them know about the presence of such kind of deadly disease which can be treated at an earlier stage. However, following is the list of such possible type of tumor along with possible treatments.
About six percent of the dogs suffer from cancer and become a victim of mouth cancer. The possible types of mouth cancer found in dogs are fibrosarcoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, and osteosarcoma. Each of them can be equally devastating if not diagnosed properly.
Designed for oral examination and analysis of oral injuries that are relatively common in dogs and cats and include injuries to the mouth, gums, teeth, or tongue.

Elevators are used to stretch and sever the periodontal ligament which holds the tooth in the socket. Medical Tools wings elevators with increased surface area help to sever the periodontal ligament easily. Winged elevator is designed for small animal dental work; short wing blades which are curve upward improves control and following tooth conformation. Narrow neck improves visibility and short shaft for better control.
1-6mm winged elevators with stubby (shorter length and larger diameter) handle makes extraction easier and safer as the user's finger can be placed at the instrument tip. Stubby handles are ideal for small or large hands.

Winged Elevator Uses
Elevators are used by inserting parallel to the tooth surface, rotate them slightly and hold for 20-30 sec. slightly
Equine Oral Examination and Treatment
For centuries, people who had horses knew the worth of caring for their animal’s teeth. Historically, the better the horse’s dentition, the more horse had importance. If we fast forward to today, we do not compromise the dental health of the horse with their price or importance. Oral problems in horses can affect their athletic performance. It can also influence their life.
Equine Teeth
Like a human, horses also have two sets of teeth; one is deciduous teeth or milk teeth and the other one is permanent teeth. The deciduous teeth erupt at 6 months of age and start to be replaced by adult teeth around 2-1/2. At the age of 5, most horses have their full permanent
teeth.
Dental Problems, Indications & their Treatments
It is very important to diagnose dental problems early, waiting too long may increase the treatment
Pet’s emergency can strike anytime; anyone who has pets must keep a pet first aid kit in easy reach. Many situations require quick action to reduce the chances of injury, infection and further complications. Being prepared can keep the manageable incident from becoming a health threat. Someone who has faced an emergency can tell it is essential.
First aid is not a substitute for veterinary treatment. However, some basic first aid can help before you are able to get your pet to a veterinarian. Veterinary care should be following first-aid attempts.
A pet’s first aid kit is the first step in being prepared should an animal emergency happen. Our Kit is designed to be used in the home as well as camping outside with pets. Besides an emergency, some instruments in the kit can be used regularly.
There are many pre-made kits available but building your own kit or adding to a pre-made one, maybe the best way to have a kit customized to meet pet’s lifestyle and needs. A veterinarian can help
Lameness is an abnormality of the horse’s gait that could be caused by pain, a mechanical problem such as “stringhalt” (muscle spasms), or a neurological problem such as “wobblers”.
Some causes of equine lameness:
Visual Examination
Examine the animal visually at a distance; note the body type and condition, conformation, any shifting in weight or abnormal stances, and the attitude of the animal.
Have a closer visual examination of the animal. Look for abnormal wear in the feet, cracks in hoof, lacerations, swellings in joints or tendons, atrophy or swelling of the muscles, and any other gross changes.
An Animal can also be observed during exercise, at the walk, trot, and sometimes at the canter or gallop. Mostly the trot is the most helpful gait for the exam because of its symmetry.
