👉 Culling, also known as culling or hunting, is a method of controlling disease in animals by removing infected individuals. It involves killing off diseased individuals to reduce the number of susceptible animals that can contract and transmit diseases. In veterinary medicine, culling refers specifically to the use of antibiotics to kill off healthy animals that might be carrying bacteria or viruses that could cause disease or death in their owners. This practice is used as a preventative measure against infectious diseases, particularly in livestock production.
