Caring for the long-term health of your livestock is of paramount importance if you want to be successful in raising them well. Keeping your animal farm safe, sustainable, and healthy is not only for profit’s sake, but is also a dedicated social responsibility. This is humanity’s promise as stewards of the environment.
Maintain the good health of your animals by focusing on these basic areas of farm care for animals.
Nutrition and Medical Care
Efficient animal production heavily relies on good nutrition. When giving proper nutrients, not all animals have a one-size-fits-all nutrient ratio. Some factors to consider when formulating their diets depend on their type, purpose of breed, life stage, milk production, and growth. Some farmers choose to work with animal nutritionists to optimize the best performance.
Another way to have their health in check is to have a veterinarian assess the animal condition regularly. It is suggested to have your poultry or livestock vaccinated to work as a barrier against being susceptible to viruses and disease.
Facilities and Animal Comfort
Like humans, animals are also more productive when they are happy and comfortable. In the cattle-growing industry, it is proven that ethically-sourced, pasture-fed cows are proven to have better fat covering, good marbling, and tastier meat than its intensive farming counterparts. Chefs, food lovers, and connoisseurs will surely tell the difference. So if you’re aiming for growing quality meat, provide enough grazing areas and comfortable facilities to improve their living conditions. This will greatly improve the quality of your livestock.
Sanitation and Treating Wastewater
A mineral-based bacterial regulator like Biodex can target odor-causing bacteria found on sewage and fecal material and kill it at a cellular level and at the same time, promoting balanced biomass by allowing the growth of good bacteria.
