Welcome to the butchering series! Now I know there are many books and videos available to show you step by step how to slaughter and butcher your animal, but I have yet to see much from the everyday prepper/homesteader/self sufficient live style about disease.
Zoological diseases are pretty self explanatory. That is disease carried by animals. Believe it or not but many of those diseases can pass to people. A friend of mine was ill for a very long time before any doctor would listen to her and believe that she had caught a disease from cattle. It turns out after many months and nagging she tested positive to bovine tuberculosis, which is supposed to be nearly extinct in the US.
As a livestock producer and being around farm animals all my life I have seen a number of diseases. I am not a veterinarian, but I have unquie experience to qualify me to discuss zoological diseases and what to look for in the guts, carcass, and meat. So lets get started with the next post! Check back to read about jaundice and how to identify it!
You're on the right path because you found yourself Way Out Here!
