Agriculture Keeping Safe Difficulties & Health Issues
Health Management (Unresolved problems)
Modern large-scale intensive livestock and poultry farming leads to a deterioration in the quality of the interior of the animal’s House, resulting in the accumulation of a large number of dust, harmful gases, and microorganisms, which affects the life cycle of the animal, health, and production.
The best fed and housed stock with the best genetic potential will not grow and produce efficiently if they become diseased or infested with parasites. Therefore good livestock & poultry health management is an important components of livestock & poultry production. Infectious disease-causing agents will spread through a flock very quickly because of the high stocking densities of housed livestock & poultry.
For livestock & poultry health management to be effective a primary aim must be to prevent the onset of disease or parasites, to recognize at an early stage the presence of disease or parasites, and to treat all flocks that are diseased or infested with parasites as soon as possible and before they develop into a serious condition or spread to other flocks. To be able to do this it is necessary to know how to recognize that the birds are diseased, the action required for preventing or minimizing disease, and how to monitor for signs that the prevention program is working.
The first key principle of livestock & poultry health management is the Prevention of disease, As much as is possible disease should be prevented. It is easier and less damaging to prevent disease than it is to treat it.
A disease is any condition that interferes with the normal functioning of the cells, tissues, organs, and whole-body systems. Diseases of livestock & poultry have many causes and include:
– The consumption of toxic substances such as poisons.
– Physical damage e.g. environmental extremes and injury.
– Infectious diseases are caused by micro-organisms such as bacteria and viruses.
In the widest sense, infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms that include parasites, fungi, protozoa, bacteria, mycoplasmas, chlamydia, and viruses. These diseases are often also called contagious diseases meaning that they can be passed from one bird to another either directly or indirectly.
Direct transmission occurs when one diseased bird passes the cause of the disease via direct contact with a susceptible healthy animal. Such passage may be horizontal transmission (from one animal to another) or vertical transmission (from parent to offspring) via the egg or sperm either inside the egg or on the shell. Indirect transmission occurs when the causal organism is passed from one animal to another via an intermediate host such as insects, earthworms, snails or slugs, wild birds or animals, or some other object such as equipment, food or water, vehicles, people, respiratory droplets, litter or feces.
Benefits Of Agriculture Environment System
Poultry / Falcons
W°™ improves the living environment in the poultry sector
in a sustainable way. Depending on your wishes and the barn conditions at your farm. W°™ always offers you the right tailor-made solution. The innovative techniques of
W°™ makes it possible for the entire poultry sector to respond to current points of attention such as reduction of fine dust, lower antibiotic use, and future treatment.
Sheep’s, Goats & Cattle
W°™ delivers immediate results. Measurements show that a minimum of 30% ammonia reduction occurs. According to goat farmers, the living environment of the goats is considerably better. The goats are calmer and have healthy skin. The fur
of the goats also looks nicer. The loss of weaker animals is considerably less. It is
also more pleasant for the farmer to work
The barn climate is also a topical issue for sheep farmers. W°™ immediately helps
to reduce particulate matter concentrations. In the short term, the use of antibiotics
can be reduced. According to sheep farmers, W°™ not only provides a lot of
pleasant environments to work in. They also report – and this is proven by metrics – improved growth and fewer levels of cough.
Horses
W°™ offers a better living and working environment in horse stables all over the world. Thanks to the ionization, at 99%, horse breeders and horse owners can reduce particulates and reduce the use of antibiotics. Remarkably, the fertility of animals has significantly increased thanks to W°™. W°™ has a positive effect on the semen quality of stallions.
