Keep Livestock Healthy and Safe

The main purpose of farming with livestock is to raise an animal that can be slaughtered to provide high quality, healthy meat to feed humans.

Remember that muscle development is what allows for the weight and volume of the meat product that you are producing.

In order to ensure that your livestock is fit, well-muscled, and healthy and that you can eventually harvest the best quality meat from the carcass, you need to consider various factors in keeping the animals happy, healthy, safe and stress-free.

Understanding the Concept of Livestock Treatments

Livestock treatments are any human, mechanical or chemical actions or interventions that take place during the production phase to ensure that the animal remains safe, identifiable and healthy. It also includes actions concerned with minimising problem animal behaviour that might cause injury to animals.
