The issue of raising livestock for human benefit raises the issue of the relationship between humans and animals, in terms of the status of animals and obligations of people. So it becomes mandatory for the owners to properly look after the animals’ food as well health issues. Domestic Animals’ diseases compromise animal welfare, reduce productivity, and can infect humans. Animal diseases may be tolerated, reduced through animal husbandry, or reduced through antibiotics and vaccines. In developing countries, animal diseases are tolerated in animal husbandry, resulting in considerably reduced productivity, especially given the low health-status of many developing country herds. Disease management for gains in productivity is often the first step taken in implementing an agriculture policy. It is hoped that the information provided in this book will be useful to the students and can be easily understood and remembered in diagnosing infectious diseases.
