Rotational Grazing - SS3 Agriculture Lesson Note
Rotational grazing is a method where animals are moved to different pasture areas regularly, allowing vegetation to recover between grazing periods.
Purpose: It maintains the health of pastures and reduces the risk of disease transmission.
How it works: By preventing overgrazing and keeping animals away from their own waste, rotational grazing helps minimize the buildup of parasites and pathogens in the environment.
In summary, these methods of disease control in agriculture and animal husbandry play essential roles in maintaining the health of livestock and preventing the spread of diseases. Quarantine separates sick animals, good feeding promotes overall health, and rotational grazing helps create a healthier environment for animals by managing grazing patterns. Combining these practices is crucial for sustainable and disease-free farming.
