Farm animal medicine

Farm animal medicine involves diagnosing, treating, and preventing health issues in livestock such as cows, pigs, sheep, and poultry. It ensures animals remain healthy, productive, and able to produce meat, dairy, or other products safely. Veterinarians use medical knowledge, diagnostic tools, and treatments like medicines or vaccines to address issues like infections, injuries, or metabolic problems. Proper farm animal health management supports animal welfare, food safety, and farm profitability. This specialized field combines aspects of animal health, husbandry, and disease prevention to promote the wellbeing of agricultural animals and the sustainability of farming practices.
