Animals play a crucial role in agriculture. And that's why there is a need for proper animal care in agriculture. Farm animals are prone to disease through viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. So, it is necessary to have proper knowledge about vaccines of farm animals. They help animals in creating defensive cells in their body to fight against the infection or diseases causing substance.

Just like human beings, animals also need proper vaccination. Vaccines are designed in such a way that they contain a substance which is similar to the disease-causing microorganism and its surface is of proteins.

Types of vaccines:

Mainly, two types of vaccines are used for farm animals named as Modified-live vaccines and killed vaccines.

Modified vaccines are made up of virus which will not cause any disease in the animal but it will build the immune system in them.

Killed vaccines consist of dead viruses and bacteria which produce defensive bodies in animals.
