🌍🐄 Final Post from the Dip Tanks Near Kruger National Park! 🐄🌍
As I prepare to return home, I'm sharing my final post from the South African dip tanks. For those who have never seen it, the process of cattle leaping into dip tanks is quite impressive. Check out this video to see it in action! 🐄💦
The dip tank is designed to submerge the cattle's heads, ensuring ear ticks are treated. This leap may look scary, but it's crucial for preventing the severe damage these ticks can cause. Without treatment, ticks can create large wounds, abscesses, and udder damage that makes it hard for cows to feed their calves. Not to mention the threat of tick-borne diseases like Ehrlichiosis (heartwater), Babesiosis (red water), and Anaplasmosis (gall sickness).
These dip tanks also allow for disease surveillance and early detection of serious illnesses like Rift Valley Fever, Anthrax, tuberculosis, brucellosis, and Foot-and-Mouth Disease.
