and medical attention in addition to putting disease and parasite prevention
measures into place. Monitoring the animals' behavior, reproduction, and growth is
another essential component of effective management procedures. The
management techniques of ruminants are now more crucial than ever to ensure
effective and sustainable production while upholding animal welfare and
environmental sustainability due to the rising demand for animal products.
