This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Hardware Disease, Hardware Disease Predispositions? Dairy cattle are more prone, although beef cattle and other ruminant species can be affected., is normally guarded but, is based onthe length of the infection, is based onthe degree of infection, Hardware Disease How's it prevented? Magnets can be passed over the feed to inspect for foreign metal objects., Hardware Disease How's it prevented? Keep cattle away from any construction sites, Hardware Disease How's it prevented? Metal bars can be given per os. (preferably done after fasting), 3. The metal object(s) to transfer into the ruminoreticular folds once here, ruminal contractions 4. Promote penetration of the reticulum's lining, 1. Cow ingests a sharp metal object(s) while grazing. then 2. The metal object(s) travels to the reticulum or the rumen., Hardware Disease Pathophysiology? 1. Cow ingests a sharp metal object(s) while grazing., Hardware Disease Prognosis is, guarded but based onthe animal's health status, Hardware Disease How does it present? Clinical signs vary based on if the reticulum alone is punctured or the organs within the throacic cavity are also., 4. Promote penetration of the reticulum's lining once the lining has been penetrated 5. The object(s) enter the thoracic cavity and pericardial sac., Hardware Disease What is it? A mechanical injury to the reticulum (that can extend to the pericardium)., is based onthe animal's health status, 5. The object(s) enter the thoracic cavity and pericardial sac. following this 6. The animal suffers from a peritonitis and can die without treatment (in a timely manner), guarded but based onthe length of the infection, Hardware Disease How's it prevented? Remove any old fences or building, Hardware Disease How's it prevented? Don't use bailing wire on the farms in areas the cattle graze.
