A)About cows:

1. TOP 5 COMMON PATHOLOGIES OF COWS.

¬ Tick damage and tick-borne diseases:

• Ticks can cause severe damage to cattle, particularly around the udder and ears. The wounds will often get infected with bacteria and might be attacked by flies.
• Ticks can also infect cattle with redwater, gallsickness and heartwater.

¬ Lumpy skin disease:

• This disease is another important cattle disease in many areas. It is spread among animals by contact and also by biting insects.
• It causes lumps in the skin, but can also lead to death if the lumps are inside the animal.

¬ Worms:

• Worms can lead to poor condition, particularly in calves.
• Prevention and treatment is by deworming.

¬Diet related problems:

• Eating plastic bags and wire: This occurs when cattle do not get enough food, or if their diet does not contain enough phosphorus particularly during the dry season. Plastic bags can block up the stomach, while wires can puncture it. In both cases the animal will look sick and uncomfortable, and it usually dies.
• Poisonous plants: Toxic plants can cause serious diseases and deaths in cattle.

¬Blackquearter:

• Blackquarter is a disease that causes swelling of a leg, lameness and death.

B)About horses:

¬ I like this page because here we can lear about horses's cares and how we can mantain them with the better health condition as is possible. This is very important because the horses are very beatiful animals and for theme we can practice the hippotherapy.
