Abstract

The purpose of this study article is to investigate the complexities of cow health and illness management, with a particular emphasis on the application of preventative care and treatment strategies to assure the well-being and productivity of cattle. This paper dives into the myriad of facets that comprise the management of cow health, including but not limited to nutrition, immunizations, parasite control, reproductive health, foot care, hygiene, and biosecurity. In addition to this, it investigates the value of routine health monitoring, early disease identification, and timely intervention by veterinarians. In order to achieve successful disease prevention and control, the research places an emphasis on the integration of comprehensive management methods, the significance of environmental concerns, and the function that record-keeping plays. The purpose of this study is to give farmers, veterinarians, and researchers with a complete understanding of cow health and disease management by combining the knowledge that is already available with the experiences that have been gained through practical application.
