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

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

capitalize on

actionable and in-depth insights on animal health, hire a healthcare market research agency with domain expertise in animal health research and an experienced panel of KOLs.
