Understanding flock health also invites broader discussions about chronic conditions that affect humans and livestock alike, such as metabolic diseases. In human health, for example, there are different types of diabetes, each with distinct causes and management strategies. Type 1 diabetes results from an autoimmune reaction that destroys insulin-producing cells, while Type 2 diabetes is often associated with insulin resistance and lifestyle factors. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy and can increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life. Recognizing the complexity and diversity of such conditions emphasizes the importance of genetic health monitoring, not only in humans but also in animals. Just as sheep producers focus on genetic traits to enhance flock productivity and resilience, human medicine increasingly relies on genetic insights to manage and prevent diseases like diabetes. Both fields benefit from continued investment in research, data collection, and precision health strategies.
