Description: Questions help determine the risk of disease entering your flock.
Historically, disease management did not occur until one or more of the animals in a group became ill. They were treated, while the remainder of the group were watched for clinical signs. The outcome was either recover, partial or complete, or death. Whichever happened, there was an economic loss to the producer. In recent years there has been a change in attitude from fighting disease in the individual animal to preventative health management of the whole population. This change stems from an increased awareness of the interaction between nutrition, health management, housing and the environment in the disease syndrome. Individual animals will still get sick and need to be treated, but the economic loss from a chronic disease will be greater and the cure harder to implement.
