Cattle diseases

Diseases of cattle (cattle) can significantly reduce the production capacity of the herd and cause serious economic losses to livestock producers. Many diseases such as mastitis, leukosis, pasture typhus, ketosis and others require close observation, prevention and timely treatment. To prevent the spread of infectious diseases, it is necessary to observe hygiene measures, vaccination and regular medical examinations of animals. It is also important to provide cattle with proper nutrition and housing conditions to reduce the risk of metabolic diseases. Working closely with a veterinary specialist will help to ensure the health and welfare of the cattle herd.
