Physics in Veterinary Practice

Abstract

What is the principle of the calf jack? It has a lever and fulcrum, and when needed and properly applied this effect is compounded. Wrapping of a prolapsed cervix that is markedly enlarged with an elastic wrap and suspending it above the vulva will cause the cervix to shrink in size thus allowing it to be replaced with less effort. These and other things that we do regularly are applications of physics.
