Key Trends in the Animal Healthcare Sector The animal health care industry is involved in producing and selling
products and services, ensuring the good health of
animals, including
household pets and food-producing
animals. Parasiticides,
antimicrobials, antibiotics, vaccines,
growth promoters, feed additives, wearable tech, monitoring devices, and diagnostic products are
examples of animal
healthcare products whose development requires
in-depth
animal health research. Furthermore, with the rise in zoonotic diseases and upgradation in technology adoption, the animal health industry is witnessing exciting changes. Players in the animal
healthcare market, read along as we discuss three
trends in the animal health industry that you can’t ignore. Vision for Sustainability Economies have started recognizing the importance of livestock production and animal health in the overall human and environmental
well-being – a concept known as ‘One
Health’. This concept is also being pushed by. The UN is also pushing this concept through the Food
Systems Summit,
highlighting animal health in its plan to enhance food security. As a result, there is an increased focus on preventing the loss
of livestock due to diseases and promoting
sustainable farming and
animal welfare, necessitating
effective pharmaceutical products
development. But this
vision of sustainability can’t be materialized
without sincere efforts in animal health market research. Animal health research firms are helping healthcare industry players conduct research
and analyze animal health data
across different regions. Breakthroughs in Vaccine Technology Some of the advancements in vaccine technology boosting vaccine accessibility in animal health care market are: diseases in livestock animal sector 1) Mass production of noveland mRNAcompanion type vaccines to prevent infectious 2) Development of heat-resistant . vaccines for usageplague, in tropic countries for treating rinderpest and cattle 3) Innovation in vaccine delivery methods such as using al conveyor belts to vaccinate day-old chicks and vaccinating virus. through the eggshell pre-

coverage. Adoption of Online Digital Health Solutions The COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing norms pushed veterinarians and pet owners toward telemedicine solutions. Digital health solutions are paving the way for adopting techdriven solutions in animal care. For example, studies suggest that 56% of pet owners already have pet-specific technology to track/monitor their pets'
behavior. Such apps, wearable
technologies, and AI integration could veterinary

AI-based
technologies
be invaluable in would
allow
veterinarians to quickly make sense of reams of clinical data to
diagnose and make treatment-related decisions. It will
save time and
boost pet care. Other 'futuristic' technologies, such 3D printing, is being used to create implants, prosthetic limbs, and even tissue replacements
for pets. Veterinarians are
increasingly using 2D images to generate practice models in preparation for surgery. The R&D behind
technologies like
these is dependent on animal health research firms mining valuable data from the animal health market. Conclusion Healthy animals are essential for a healthy biosphere. Diligent efforts
are required to produce effective animal healthcare
products and services. With the aligned goal of robust animal healthcare, it is the onus of the animal healthcare industry to develop preventative measures to keep animals healthy and limit disease spread within an animal population. If you are in the animal healthcare market looking to
