How Does Rotational Stocking Help in Disease Prevention?
Rotational stocking can reduce disease transmission by breaking the pathogen life cycle. Many pathogens rely on continuous contact with hosts to spread effectively. By moving animals to different paddocks, the accumulation of infectious agents in one area is minimized, reducing the chances of disease outbreaks. This practice also helps in managing vector-borne diseases, as it disrupts the habitat of vectors such as ticks and flies.
