Animal health and ecological implications (free topic)
by Cassie Kenny \| 09-03-2020 20:42 1
Domestic animals are important in our environment.In one way or the other these animals complete the ecosystem. Just like human beings,animals deserve good treatment when they get sick. The reasons for treating animals and their health services is to improve the level of livestock production and most importantly the well being of animals and also control major diseases in animals.While pursuing these important issues,these activities could being about pollution and degradation of the environment due to some factors such as overpopulation of livestock,overexhaustion of available natural resources like grass,shrubs and veterinary products such as the vaccines and medication. Overgrazing in a small land due to overpopulation of livestock may contribute to land degradation, desertification, erosion and even reduced soil fertility. The use of paddocks,zero grazing and keeping the enough livestock can rescue situations of erosion . Use of pesticides is not harmful because it improves animal productivity however,some farmers are never careful about the ecosystem and thus they over use these chemicals and pose a threat to the environment like soil toxicity ,soil erosion and acidity in soil. Proper disposal of pesticide cans,dead animals and animal wastes is wanting.Poor disposal of dead animals that died of sickness poses a risk to other animals. Pesticide cans and animal waste is also harmful and farmers need to be enlightened on proper disposal. Veterinary stores should be made available for farmers in various areas.This is to ensure proper information dissemination on proper use of veterinary drugs.If drugs are not well administered,traces of drugs can be present in milk,meat, eggs and other animal products.Farmers need to know the importance of ensuring the animals get better and reasons why they shouldn't be in a haste of using animal products that are under medication . Ecological implications are felt due to little information or lack of the information at all by the farmers.To avoid such,there is need for information to farmers inform of seminars,trainings on how to handle animal health to avoid posing dangers to the ecosystem.

Hi Cassie Kenny, this is Sang Su Lee.

Among all animals, people are only ones who are avaricious. They produce everything in excess even though they do not need it. As you mentioned, animals (livestocks) are one of them. As the result, many environmental problems (above) are happening. I hope people aware the fact that we do not need this much of waste soon. Thank you for your article.

Best,

Hello Cassie! This is mentor Taehyun!

Thank you for your report about welfare with domestic animals. We are now considering the welfare of wild animals and take care of them a lot! But slightly less effort on domestic animals...sad truth. I once saw a chicken 'factory' video clip, and after I watch that video, I feel sorry about chicken, so I rarely eat chicken or not eat them. That is a problem. Even though domestic animals are utilized by humans, but they are the same life as we are. We have to treat them well.

Thank you for the engaging report!

Best.
