Overview

Livestock are domesticated animals raised in agricultural settings to produce food and other products, including cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry, and horses, kept for meat, milk, eggs, wool, hides, draught power, and other uses. Their health, productivity, and welfare are central to food security and rural livelihoods, and maintaining them depends on veterinary healthcare encompassing disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, parasite and infection control, nutrition, breeding management, and biosecurity. Because many livestock diseases are infectious or zoonotic, their surveillance and control also have implications for public health and food safety. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to livestock and veterinary healthcare published in Veterinary Healthcare and related OpenAccessPub journals. On-topic work includes a coprological study of ovine fasciolosis within a community-based sheep breeding programme, an assessment of reproductive performance and newborn sex ratio in crossbred dairy cattle, a study of the prevalence and economic importance of bovine hydatidosis in slaughtered animals, the detection of carbapenem resistance among avian pathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from broiler chickens, and a seroprevalence study of camel brucellosis. Together these articles reflect the parasitological, infectious-disease, reproductive, and food-safety dimensions of livestock health that are central to veterinary practice and animal production.
