Ruminant Health

Ruminant health refers to the well-being of animals like cows, sheep, and goats that have a specialized digestive system called the rumen, which allows them to break down fibrous plant material. Maintaining their health involves proper nutrition, regular veterinary care, and management of diseases such as mastitis, foot rot, and parasites. Good health ensures these animals grow, produce milk or meat efficiently, and remain comfortable. Monitoring behavior, diet, and physical signs helps detect issues early, supporting overall productivity and animal welfare.
