The only relationship between a Cattle Egret and grazing animals is that the Egret will remove fleas and ticks from cattle. It will also follow other grazing animals as they eat, picking the insects that they stir up while they graze.
In areas where both animals live, the egrets feed on insects that are attracted to the cattle. This is a symbiotic relationship because both parties benefit and neither is harmed - the cattle have fewer insects bothering them and the egrets have easily obtained meals.
Commensalism. Commensalism is a kind of relationship between two organisms where one benefits and the other is not significantly harmed or helped.
I said Mutualism. But my Professor marked this wrong on the test. His answer was Commensalism. Since there is no apparent benefit for the cape buffalo.

Mutualism because both the cow and the bacteria are benefitting. The bacteria is benefitting because it gets energy from digesting the cows' cellulose. The cow is benefitting because it is getting its cellulose digested for it.
One advantage cattle egrets in the livestock industry is that they can eat flies and in some occasions, ticks, from the bodies of cattle. One disadvantage though is that they can cause noise and air pollution because their large colonies. One advantage that cows bring is that fire retardants in bushy areas.
Dairy cattle like Holsteins, Brown Swiss and Jerseys.
Cow cocky is an Australian and New Zealand term referring to a small scale cattle farmer.
The egret follows the cow because it eats the insects which are attracted by the cow's manure, and other manure dropped earlier, but as the cow moves through the herbage it disturbs flies and other creatures which the egret eats. If the cow is annoyed by flies on its hide the egret will also clean those up. So it is a happy partnership.
