NOTE

PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF FARM ANIMAL DISEASES

The following are some of the methods of disease controlnin farm animals:

  1. Quarantine: Quarantine involves isolating individuals who have been exposed to a contagious disease, or who may be carriers of the disease, to prevent its spread to others. This method helps to contain the spread of the disease and minimize its impact on the population.
  2. Vaccination: Vaccination involves administering a vaccine to individuals to stimulate their immune system to produce antibodies against a particular disease-causing organism. Vaccination is one of the most effective methods of disease control and has been instrumental in the eradication or significant reduction of many deadly diseases.
  3. Inoculation: Inoculation, also known as immunization, involves introducing a small amount of disease-causing agent into the body to stimulate the immune system's response without causing illness. This method helps to build immunity against the disease and can provide protection against future infection.
  4. Hygiene: Hygiene practices, such as regular handwashing, proper sanitation, and clean water supply, are essential for preventing the spread of infectious diseases. Good hygiene practices help to remove or kill disease-causing microorganisms and reduce the risk of transmission.
  5. Good feeding: Good nutrition is vital for maintaining a healthy immune system, which plays a crucial role in fighting off infections. Proper feeding practices, including providing a balanced diet with essential nutrients, can help strengthen the body's defenses against diseases.
  6. Rotational grazing: In agriculture, rotational grazing involves moving livestock between different grazing areas to prevent overgrazing and maintain pasture health. This method can help reduce the risk of disease transmission among animals by minimizing contact with contaminated pastures and promoting overall herd health.

EVALUATION: 1. Identify 5 methods of diseases control.
