Prevention means what?

Prevention means what?

• A. Cleaning to reduce disease
• B. Stopping disease before it starts
• C. Identifying a disease
• D. Organ used for breathing

Answer: (B)

Prevention means stopping disease before it starts. In livestock practice, this is about taking proactive steps to keep animals healthy and avoid illness, such as vaccination programs, good sanitation, biosecurity to prevent introducing pathogens, quarantining new or sick animals, and providing proper nutrition and parasite control. These measures reduce the chances of disease taking hold in the herd. Cleaning to reduce disease is a related activity, but it describes a method rather than the overall idea of prevention itself. Identifying a disease is diagnosis, not prevention, and the organ used for breathing is unrelated to the concept.
