Natural Immunity
Definition: natural immunity
natural immunity: immunity from disease inherited by newborn offspring from birth, acquired in the womb or from the mothers milk. Natural immunity provides young animals with protection against common diseases, reducing the need for medical interventions and enhancing animal welfare. Farmers can benefit from understanding and promoting natural immunity through proper breeding practices, ensuring good maternal health, and providing optimal nutrition for pregnant and lactating animals. This can lead to healthier livestock, reduced veterinary costs, and improved productivity.
