Explanation

Animal health and welfare is crucial to livestock management. Healthy animals produce more; stressed or sick animals have reduced productivity and may die.

Crop-related options (rotation, fertilizer, irrigation) concern crop management, not livestock. Livestock management focuses on animal needs.

Key aspects: disease prevention, proper nutrition, clean housing, access to water, humane handling, and regular health monitoring.
