Differential Diagnosis and Treatment of Bovine Parasitic Diseases
Parasitic diseases typically do not cause widespread mortality directly,their long-term effects include gradual weight loss and reduced appetite in cattle,potentially impacting the economic profitability of farming operations.Parasites invade cattle through multiple pathways such as the digestive tract,skin,and respiratory system.Once established,these parasites disrupt nutrient absorption and immune function,making cattle more susceptible to other diseases.There are numerous types of parasitic diseases in cattle,including protozoan diseases like coccidiosis,trematode infections such as liver fluke disease,and infestations by ectoparasites like lice,ticks,and mites.Each disease has specific pathogens,transmission routes,and clinical manifestations.This article aims to enhance understanding of the nature of these diseases and their prevention among livestock farmers,providing effective guidelines for diagnosis and treatment.Ultimately,these efforts contribute to improving the health and economic outcomes of cattle farming.
