At Cattle Group Farming, we take pride in the remarkable natural and acquired immunity of our Ankole cattle. These two powerful defence systems work together to protect our herd from a wide range of diseases and environmental challenges. Understanding how these immunity mechanisms function not only deepens our appreciation for these resilient animals but also allows us to implement better health management practices to safeguard their well-being.

Parasites pose a hidden but significant threat to beef cattle health and overall productivity. Left unchecked, internal and external parasites can lead to weight loss, reduced fertility, compromised immune systems, and lower meat quality—ultimately affecting your bottom line. Effective parasite control is not just about protecting individual animals; it’s about ensuring the long-term sustainability and profitability of your herd.
