About Mortality Rate
The mortality rate is a measure of the frequency of occurrence of death in a defined population during a specified interval. In ecology and animal husbandry, it helps monitor health trends and the impact of environmental factors or disease.
Why Monitor Mortality?
Consistent mortality tracking allows producers to identify disease outbreaks early, evaluate the quality of husbandry practices, and assess the economic viability of livestock operations.
