LFP 211: Livestock Farm Practice (0+1)

INTRODUCTION

• The first step in controlling a disease is its diagnosis. Once the disease is known control measures should be based on the knowledge of the nature of the causal agent, the way it is excreted from the animal body and the mode of transmission. Hence, the farm manager should observe his animals daily and any incidence of ill health should be promptly studied and necessary measures taken.
• Help of a veterinarian should be sought whenever there is problem.
