In addition to insufficient food quantity and quality, the low animal productivity is due to the persistence of several animal diseases, some of which are caused by parasites (tick borne diseases, worms, and protozoa.).  

These diseases do not only cause the mortality but also the production loss (milk, meat, leather, eggs) loss.

They also entail significant expenses related to their prevention, especially in their treatment.  

Cross-breeds from local and exotic breeds and pure exotic breeds easily catch various parasitic diseases.

However, the clinical diagnostic techniques are not always mastered.

Concentrates are feeds rich in energy or protein, usually made from grains (like maize, sorghum), oilseed cakes (like soybean, groundnut), bran, and mineral–vitamin supplements. Their preparation involves selecting good-quality ingredients, grinding or crushing them for easy digestibility, mixing in the right proportions, and sometimes pelleting for easy handling.

Distribution of concentrates should be done according to the nutritional needs of the animals (species, age, weight, and production stage). They are usually given in measured amounts to avoid wastage, ensure uniform feeding, and prevent digestive disorders. Proper storage in dry, cool, and rodent-free areas is essential to maintain quality before distribution.
