Animal Health

[[cowgirl_up_47]

We are doing a new thing with our 4-H club this year, everyone is going to lead a meeting. I chose to lead the January meeting on Animal (cattle) Health. I'm planning on going over vaccinations, when to give them, who gets what, maybe common illnesses/problems etc. I'm also planning on taking some props (vaccine bottles, balling gun, boluses, etc).

Does anyone have any other ideas on things to cover? I am the oldest in our club by at least a few years (I'm 16), so nothing too complicated.

Take a orange and fill a syringe with some food coloring then inject the orange then cut it in half and show the kids how the food coloring spread through the orange and relate it to how this is the same as an animals shot and how it would look u can also do this under the peel to represent sub q and then relate the two and discuss the damage. Hope this helps!

Dangit! You got to it first. I agree though, talk about the differences between subq and IM injections and maybe how to read labels.

Since they are young and 4-Hers often forget the very basics...discuss worming, alternating wormers, why it's important.
Basic management that prevents illnesses...clean water, pens, etc.

That's a great idea, thanks.

Good idea, those are things that are often overlooked.

As every one know that there are many types of food available -- including wet and dry types, as well as newer trends like raw food diets,  and also number of manufacturers to choose from this diet.

Compare your personal vaccination record and the ones in a typical US herd.  I love to show how our personal doctors still use  paper trail and files.  I have more than 30,000 all on an computerized animal health program corresponding to an eid.  Our animals have better mantained records than my own.
