    External parasites affecting cattle include ticks, lice, and mites, which infest the skin and hair coat, causing irritation and skin damage. Internal parasites, such as worms (e.g., gastrointestinal nematodes), infect the digestive tract, leading to reduced feed efficiency, weight loss, anemia, and potentially more severe health issues if left untreated.

    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.
