Ticks are harmful external parasites that severely affect cattle health and milk production by transmitting diseases like Babesiosis, Anaplasmosis, and Theileriosis. These diseases cause symptoms such as fever, red-colored urine, jaundice, swollen lymph nodes, weakness, and reduced milk yield, often leading to serious health complications or death if untreated. Tick infestations also cause stress, skin irritation, and economic losses for farmers. To prevent tick-borne diseases, it’s essential to maintain proper hygiene in cattle sheds, perform regular grooming, use tick repellents (acaricides), rotate pastures, follow vaccination schedules, and consult veterinarians for timely diagnosis and care.
