Abstract:

Always remember that it is cheaper to prevent the occurrence of diseases rather than treating them. So the farmer can use preventive measures to ensure healthy animals. These include: Good hygiene in zero-grazed animals ensure the cattle housing, utensils on the farm are thoroughly cleaned Control external parasites: licks by using acaricides by spraying, dipping or use pour-on formulations.
