Summary
Details

This book provides a comprehensive overview of animal health and welfare practices in livestock production enterprises, focusing on the essential principles that ensure the well-being, productivity, and longevity of animals raised for food and agricultural purposes. It covers critical aspects of livestock management, including the provision of adequate nutrition, proper housing, disease prevention, and effective medical care. The book emphasizes creating environments that minimize stress, prevent injury, and promote natural behaviours in animals, which are key to enhancing their overall productivity and quality.

In addition to animal welfare, the book explores how modern livestock enterprises integrate environmental sustainability and regulatory compliance. It highlights the importance of adhering to ethical guidelines and industry standards, ensuring humane treatment while optimizing farm efficiency. Topics such as resource management, sustainable grazing, water conservation, and waste management are explored in depth. Key chapters include animal welfare policies, signs of welfare issues, prevention and treatment strategies, transportation of livestock, health assessments, and maintaining proper nutrition and water supplies. This book serves as a valuable resource for farmers, livestock managers, and agricultural professionals committed to improving both animal welfare and farm sustainability.
