redwater: A parasitic disease of cattle transmitted by the common tick. The affected animal becomes very dull, feverish, salivates freely, and often staggers and falls. The acute form of the disease is often fatal. Managing redwater is crucial for maintaining cattle health and farm productivity.
rural environment: The countryside. Protecting the rural environment supports sustainable agriculture and enhances biodiversity.
