Exploring the Impact of Environmental Factors on Animal Health: A Veterinary Perspective
Abstract
This veterinary science research study examines the complex interaction between environmental influences and animal health. Climate change, air and water quality, habitat alteration, biodiversity loss, and human-induced stressors affect many animal species, according to the study. The research analyzes how veterinarians perceive and address environmental concerns using empirical facts, case studies, and expert opinions. Veterinarians use immunization, parasite management, and dietary therapies to protect animals from environmental stressors. Veterinarians' ability to monitor and diagnose environmental health risks is also highlighted. Using a "One Health" strategy, veterinarians, ecologists, public health experts, and other professionals collaborate to combat emerging infectious diseases and protect the environment. Rescue, medical care, and post-disaster animal health are examined from the veterinarian perspective in environmental disaster emergency response. The report also emphasizes customer education and sustainable, environmental conservation-based animal care. This study report concludes that the veterinary perspective is crucial to understanding and mitigating environmental effects on animal health. It promotes a holistic, environmental approach to animal health by providing insights for veterinarians, academics, legislators, and the public.
