yes. If radionuclides are released into the environment, through accident, poor disposal, or other means, they can potentially cause harmful effects of radioactive contamination. They can also cause damage if they are excessively used during treatment or in other ways applied to living beings. This is called radiation poisoning. Radionuclides can also cause malfunction of electrical devices.

When you have a fractured wrist and are in a splint, you should be careful of not putting too much pressure or weight on the injured wrist, avoid sudden movements that could worsen the injury, and follow your doctor's recommendations for rest and movement restrictions to promote proper healing. Additionally, you should avoid activities that could potentially cause further injury to the fractured bone.

The estimated global prevalence of clubfoot is about 1-2 cases per 1000 live births, with varying rates in different regions. However, specific population data on individuals living with clubfoot may be limited due to underreporting and lack of comprehensive databases.

Calf Creek is not an archaic culture site in Oklahoma. This site is actually located in Texas and contains rock shelters with prehistoric Native American rock art.

"Cow in Calf" by Seamus Heaney was written in 1966.

Same reason why a captain calls there boat a girl, or a person to call their car a girl its just the way we picture it animals are usually considered boys until the sex of the animal is known.

In the Bible, the fattened calf was considered a sign of a special occasion because it was reserved for celebrations or feasts. Its fattened state symbolized abundance and prosperity, making it suitable for important events like welcoming guests or honoring someone of significance.

Yes, bulls and cows belong to the same family known as Bovidae. Bulls are male cattle, while cows are female cattle. Both bulls and cows are domesticated livestock commonly used for milk, meat, and labor.

It could be due to a variety of reasons, from disease to malnutrition (and not the emaciated-type of "malnutrition"). Diseases such as Bovine Viral Diarrhea and Trichomoniasis can trigger abortions in cows. Cows that don't get adequate nutrition can also abort.

Use an elastrator. The rings that you would use for bull calves look like green Cheerios. Make sure the bull is restrained before you do this procedure, either by having someone help you hold the calf to the ground, or have him retrained in the squeeze chute with his head in the headgate so he doesn't move around excessively on you. Make sure you can count to 2 before slipping the band on; squeeze the elastrator (which'll widen the green band), slip the band over the testicles (making sure you have 2 testicles inside the band and not one or none), then release pressure on the handles of the elastrator when the band is on the neck of the scrotum (where the epididimus tubes are located) and not directly squeezing the testicles, as this would be very painful for the bull. Pull the elastrator out of the band now on the neck of the testicles and your done.

A calf. If it's a male, it's a bull calf. If it's female, it's a heifer calf. Bull calves become steer calves if they are castrated.

A bull calf becomes a bull when he is weaned and reaches one year of age. Bulls are raised and used for breeding cows and heifers.

Steers are steers when they are fed and raised for beef. A steer can become an ox if he is trained at a young age to pull carts and wagons.

A heifer calf is no longer a heifer calf after she is weaned and becomes one year of age. She is a bred heifer when she is impregnated by a bull at 15 to 18 months of age, then a first-calf heifer when she calves. She becomes a cow after having her second calf.

Cows don't lay eggs, chickens do. However a cow's "eggs" or ovum "matures" in the cow's fallopian tube near the uterus which sits in wait for the sperm from the bull to fertilize or fuse with it.

Supposedly it is likely that she will. However, there are cows (and heifers) that aren't too keen about kicking off their own calf even if there's a new one on the way. Domestication can be blamed for this, mostly because in some females the natural mothering instincts have been selected less so because it's the humans that are going to be working to make sure newborn calves are going to survive instead of letting the cow do her job. This is especially apparent in dairy cows. It can be a problem in beef cows that do not have as strong of mothering instincts as other cows do. However, if a cow is selected to and allowed to raise her calf as she sees fit (provided she gets the proper nutrition to be able to raise a healthy calf), she will more than likely know when and how to wean her own calf.

It's just like knowing when to put the bull out with the cows: When they're not pregnant and are ready to be bred. Most often it will be the cow herself that will tell you when she is ready to be bred, but you have to judge when the right time would be to AI her. Ideally 45 to 60 days after calving is when you should consider getting her bred. AI needs to be performed 12 hours after her first signs of heat.

A calf does not stay in it's mother's stomach: the stomach is a place where feed is digested, not a place where a calf develops. A calf develops in his mothers WOMB or uterus, not the stomach. Thus, a calf is in his mother's womb for around 285 days.

You can consider weaning the calf when it's 6 months of age or more. How long after she's bred that you can wean the calf off her depends on how long after she calved you had her bred. If you had her bred about three and a half months (~80 days) after she calved, then you should consider weaning the calf two-and-a-half to three months after she's been bred.

There could be many reasons to this, and one is as likely as the other:

1) You're too impatient. Usually it takes an hour or two for a calf to be able to get up. Some calves are more vigorous than others, depending on their breeding.

2) The calf went through a tough birth, which it needs the time to recover

3) It's a stillborn calf (born dead)

4) It may have gotten up already and has laid back down to go to sleep

5) He hasn't nursed yet probably because his momma won't let him

6) The outside temperature is too hot

7) The outside temperature is too cold and the calf is too chilled to get up or has frozen feet

8) The calf could be injured and unable to get up.

The short answer is, you don't; mature horses with broken weight-bearing leg bones do not heal well (or at all), are generally in excruciating amounts of pain and are often a danger to themselves or their handlers because they panic due to being restrained. However, a young foal (6 months old or younger) with a greenstick fracture or a fracture of a non-weight-bearing bone may be able to have the fracture reduced and tolerate corrective equipment (cast, splint, etc.) until the bone heals.

This is where the folk wisdom of shooting (ie, mercy killing) a horse with a broken leg comes from: there is little that can be done to keep the horse safe, comfortable and immobile for the months it would take for the bone to heal up enough to support the animal's weight.

I have seen this tried, on a six year old Arabian stallion with a compound open fracture of the proximal radius. He freaked out when put into a body sling to help support his weight and broke an equine vet resident's ribs. He had multiple surgeries to realign the bone fragments, put antibiotics into the break site to prevent bone infection, pull out dead bone fragments and put transverse supporting pins through the distal humerus. The owner spent over $10,000 on surgeries, X-rays, hospitalization and daily care, the break never healed and the stallion was eventually euthanized.

Limousin are selected to have long gestation periods, which is around 290 to 300 days (or more) in length.

Heifers don't lactate prior to their first calf. However, they may start lactating several weeks before giving birth, but they aren't lactating like a mature cow does.

A bull looks more masculine than cows do, often with a large muscular hump on the neck, and more muscular features around the shoulders and rump. Bulls have a broader forehead than cows do, which is sometimes curly, often signifying fertility. Where cows have udders, bulls have testicles that look much like human male testicles but are much larger. They also have a sheath where the penis is "stored," which is often covered in longer hair than the rest of their body. The sheath is located in the bottom-middle of their belly, and is where they also urinate from. This area is also called the navel.

Cows, on the other hand, are more feminine in their features in comparison to bulls. They are often smaller, with a less broader forehead, no hump on their shoulders (except for the Brahman breeds), and are less muscular in appearance. They do not urinate from the navel area like bulls do, but from their rear ends. Below their anus they have a bit of a pronounced vulva, which is where they urinate, concieve, and give birth to a newborn calf from. They also have udders, a bag of skin with four teats on each quarter, from where milk is developed and excreted by the newborn calf or by a milk machine.
