In animal production, disease-causing organisms are generally called pathogens. Pathogens are microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa that can cause diseases in animals. These organisms can infect different parts of the animal's body, including the respiratory system, digestive system, and reproductive system. Pathogens can also be transmitted from one animal to another through direct contact, contaminated feed or water, and through the air. Preventing and controlling the spread of pathogens is essential in animal production to ensure the health and productivity of the animals.
