Top 10 Biggest Cattle Breeds In The World - Biggest Cows To Believe .... They say size matters but does it? Well, there are different ideas on this so  let’s not discuss all of that and restrict  ourselves to cattle. Now why do people domesticate cattle? While there can be many reasons for this,  the two major are milk and meat production. Keeping this in mind, you’d OBVIOUSLY prefer  the larger breed because hello, more meat! Now before you run to get the biggest of them  all, remember that they have their own limitations  and each one is suitable to different climates  and needs.

Medical calculations, part 2, Veterinary Pharmacology Hi this is dr. Herndon and this is part two of our review of medical  calculations. In this article i will be  explaining and demonstrating how to  calculate a drug dose and how to  calculate an amount of a drug that we're  going to administer to a patient. In order to be able to do these  calculations we need to know three  things: you need to know the animal's  body weight,  the drug dosage rate, and the drug  concentration. A word about the terms  dose and dosage: these two terms are often used interchangeably. It's important to know the difference, and for our purposes a dose of a drug is  what we're going to be calculating. It's  the quantity of drug active ingredient  that's delivered to a patient at one  particular time. So you'll often see a drug dose written  as 20 milligrams or 20 units. A  dosage rate, however this is something we  don't have to calculate. A dosage rate is  goi
