Drought

Animal health problems following floods and drought-breaking rains

Agriculture Primefact
Primefact Number: 849    Edition: First edition    Released/reviewed: 01 Nov 2008

During drought, infectious disease tends to be less common and the majority of animal health problems are related to incorrect feeding, inadequate or unbalanced nutrition.

The wet season that usually follows can bring with it a much wider ranging set of problems.

Producers need to be aware of these to help minimise losses.

Topics covered in this Primefact include:

  • Flood
  • Disease in a wet environment
  • Insect and arthropod problems
  • Bacterial disease
  • Parasites
  • Plant poisonings
