This article demonstrates how tailored veterinary advice improves health and production in farm ecosystems, suggesting ways to manage parasites without harming biodiversity.
Healthy ecosystems are important to sustain us as a society and for the farm businesses that feed us. Livestock veterinarians have an important role in improving biodiversity in farm ecosystems through their advice on husbandry and medicines. This is especially true when it comes to the challenges of managing parasites in grazed ruminants. This article examines some of the ways we can tailor our veterinary advice to promote health and production while minimising unintended environmental consequences.
