Question

1. a large farm has discovered that their entire stock has contracted pseudorabies. the farmers begin treatment immediately, but they are aware that there will be casualties from this illness. how will this likely affect the farms output in the next few months? their adult pigs will be disfigured, but they will still be able to be sold and their piglets will soon grow up healthy. they will lose all of their adult pigs, but after a few months, the piglets will grow large enough to sell. they will have pigs to sell for now, but they will lose their entire population of piglets, affecting future sales. their entire pig population will be lost as pseudorabies has a 100 percent kill rate.

Explanation:

Pseudorabies can be a serious and often - fatal disease in pigs. Given that there will be casualties and the entire stock is infected, it is likely that a significant number of adult pigs will die. Piglets may take time to grow and reach a sellable size. If adult pigs die, it will impact the farm's immediate output, and the loss of adult pigs may also mean a loss of potential breeding stock for future piglets. The most likely scenario is that they will lose all of their adult pigs, but after a few months, the piglets will grow large enough to sell.

Answer:

They will lose all of their adult pigs, but after a few months, the piglets will grow large enough to sell.
