Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a severe, highly contagious viral disease of cattle and swine. The disease is caused by a virus of which there are seven ‘types’, each producing the same symptoms, and distinguishable only in the laboratory. Animals pick up the virus either by direct contact with an infected animal or by contact with foodstuffs or other things which have been contaminated by such an animal, or by eating or coming into contact with some part of an infected carcase.

Animal feed includes: A. roughage, which is largely fibre,and B. concentrates,which are low in fibre and contains relatively high levels of proteins and other nutrients. Cattle balanced rations containing all nutrition in proportionate amount, besides such nutritions food material, certain feed additives containing micronutrients promote the health and milk output of dairy  animals.

Any complete diet must contain some protein, but the nutritional value of the protein relates directly to its amino acid composition and digestibility. High-quality fishmeal normally contains between 60% and 72% crude protein by weight. Typical diets for fish may contain from 32% to 45% total protein by weight.

Plants that yield pollen and nectar are collectively called bee pasturage or bee forage. India having a wide varieties of floral geography and the bee pasturage also varies. Pollen is a highly proteinaceous food for bees. The plants that produce only pollen are called pollen plants.

The western honey bee or European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is the most common of the 7–12 species of honey bee worldwide.

Like all honey bees, the western honey bee is eusocial, creating colonies with a single fertile female (or "queen"), many normally non-reproductive females or "workers," and small proportion of fertile males or "drones."

Globally there are more honey bees than other types of bee and pollinating insects, so it is the world's most important pollinator of food crops. It is estimated that one third of the food that we consume each day relies on pollination mainly by bees. For crops such as blueberries and almonds, the honey bee plays an essential role in pollination of commercial crops. In addition, honey bees play a significant role in the pollination of other important crops such as cotton and flax. And there are also a number of valuable non-food products produced by the honey bee, such as beeswax used in cleaning and beauty products .

The disease is also suspected to cause conjunctivitis among laboratory workers and persons handling infected birds.
