1. Vital Signs Of Animals Animal Husbandry (Agr-407) Presented by Aftab Ahmed Rahimoon Agriculture Dept. Karachi university

2. What is Vital Signs of Animals? Just like humans, animals have measurable vital signs that indicate their body's overall functioning . These vital signs include breathing rate, heart rate, temperature and blood pressure . change with age, sex, weight, fitness and condition.

3. Method to Take Vital Signs? Sheep/Goat Temperature measure rectally by using digital thermometer. Pulse rate Place your fingers on the left side of the lower ribcage count how many heart beats per minute . Respiration rate  By observing No of breaths taken in 15 sec X 4

4. Cattle/Buffalo Temperature measure rectally by using digital thermometer. Pulse rate We measure using Jugular veins Respiration rate  By observing No of breaths taken in 15 sec X 4 Respiration rate

5. Pulse Rate

6. Donkey/Horse Temperature measure rectally by using digital thermometer. Pulse rate can be taken by Facial artery/femoral veins Respiration can be taken by watching animal chest in-out /by nostrils

7. Cat/Dog Temperature measure rectally by using digital thermometer. Pulse rate putting your fingers on the inside of their hind legs, near where the leg meets the body . Respiration can be taken by watching animal chest in & out /by nostrils

8. Birds(Chicken) G ently insert the thermometer into the cloaca. The chicken's temperature is relatively high compared to humans Pulse rate Measured by brachial artery. Respiration Measured by nostrils no of breaths taken in 15 sec X 4= ?

9. Horse Vital Signs

10. Name of Animals Temp °F Respiration Pulse rate Cattle 100.5-102.5 12-16 BPM 60 to 70 Buffalo 99.5-102.0 15-30 BPM 38 to 35 Sheep 100.8-103.8 15-30 BPM 70 to 90 Goat 102.5-104.8 15-30 BPM 70 to 90 Cat 101.0-102.5 16-40 BPM 120-140 Chicken 105-107 20-30 BPM 250–300

11. Temperature: Degree of heat of a living body Should be in normal limits Depend on various conditions Increase or decrease with weather Highest in the evening and lowest in the deep sleep at night Above normal limits-Fever Hyperthermia Below normal limits-hypothermia

12. Importance Vitals display what's actually going on inside the animal body. They provide important information about the animals organs. Therefore , the importance of vital signs monitoring is that it allows one to assess the wellbeing
