Key Questions Answered
If milk suddenly decreases significantly or the animal stops giving milk, farmers should not rely only on home remedies. Instead, it is necessary to get the animal examined by a veterinarian to determine the correct underlying reason and appropriate treatment.
Stomach worms can negatively impact an animal's overall health as well as its milk production by interfering with proper nutrition absorption, even if the animal appears healthy. Livestock farmers are advised to periodically consult a veterinarian to administer deworming medicine tailored to the animal's age, weight, and condition.
Livestock farmers should provide a balanced diet combining green fodder, necessary mineral mixtures, and a salt lump for licking, alongside a continuous supply of clean, fresh water. Additionally, animals need a clean, well-ventilated living space, sufficient rest, and timely vaccinations to prevent infectious diseases.
