Diseases not only pose a threat to the health and life of cattle but also significantly reduce milk production. Afflicted animals may experience decreased milk yield due to illness-related stress, decreased appetite, or direct effects of the disease on the udder or milk quality.
How do diseases impact cattle productivity, particularly in terms of milk production?

Diseases in cattle can significantly impact productivity, particularly in milk production, by causing reduced feed intake, metabolic imbalances, and decreased milk yield. Additionally, diseases like mastitis can directly affect udder health and milk quality, leading to economic losses for dairy farmers due to decreased milk production and treatment costs.
