  1. 2-4 hours
  2. 8-12 hours
  3. 12-18 hours
  4. 24-48 hours
Explanation
Answer: D - A fasting recommendation of 24-48 hours is given for withholding food from cattle prior to undergoing anesthesia. Fasting is necessary to overcome the probability of vomiting due to decreased esophageal sphincter tone and diminished swallowing reflex. It is also recommended to withhold water from cattle for 8-12 hours prior to anesthetic procedures.
