Farm animal diseases refer to illnesses that affect domesticated animals raised for agricultural purposes, such as cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry, and goats.

1. Foot-and-Mouth Disease : Highly contagious viral disease affecting cloven-hoofed animals such as cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats, causing fever and blisters in the mouth and feet.


2. Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) : Viral infection primarily affecting birds, often spread through wild bird migrations, leading to severe respiratory distress and significant mortality in poultry.


3. Mastitis: Common bacterial infection in dairy cows, causing inflammation of the udder tissue, reduced milk production, and sometimes severe discomfort or pain for the animal.


4. Scrapie : A fatal, degenerative disease affecting sheep and goats, characterized by severe itching, abnormal behavior, and progressive loss of coordination.


5. Bovine Tuberculosis (TB) : Chronic bacterial infection in cattle caused by Mycobacterium bovis, leading to persistent cough, weight loss, and potential spread to humans through consumption of unpasteurized dairy products.


6. Swine Dysentery : A bacterial infection in pigs, causing severe diarrhea, dehydration, and potential death, primarily affecting weaned pigs and growing swine.


7. Chicken Cholera: A highly contagious bacterial disease in poultry, causing sudden death, fever, diarrhea, and respiratory distress, often spread through contaminated feed or water.


8. Bluetongue: A viral disease affecting sheep and other ruminants, transmitted by midges, leading to fever, swelling of the tongue, and lameness, with severe cases causing death.
