The livestock industry is an integral part of the agricultural sector, encompassing various aspects of animal husbandry and production. It plays an important role in global food security and supports the livelihoods of millions of people worldwide.
Chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese and ducks are the main categories of poultry kept for eggs, meat and breeding.
Animal health is integral to the sustainability, profitability, and ethical considerations of livestock farming. It involves a combination of preventative measures, good management practices, and veterinary care to ensure that animals are raised in a manner that is both economically viable and environmentally responsible while prioritizing their well-being and public health.
If you’re responsible for a farm animal you must make sure that you care for it properly. (DEFRA)
