Several factors influence the health and quality of livestock, which in turn affects productivity:

Nutrition: A balanced diet tailored to the species and life stage of the animal is crucial for maintaining health and optimizing production.

Housing and Environment: Proper housing conditions that provide adequate space, ventilation, and hygiene reduce stress and the incidence of disease.

Healthcare Management: Regular veterinary care, vaccinations, and parasite control are essential for preventing and managing diseases.

Genetics: The genetic makeup of an animal significantly impacts its susceptibility to diseases, growth rate, and quality of products such as meat, milk, and wool.

Management Practices: Efficient and humane management practices, including handling and transportation, play a critical role in maintaining animal welfare and product quality.
