Veterinary vaccination enhances the health of animals, thus improving their life expectancies. Most common veterinary vaccines include those for rabies, E. coli, distemper, hepatitis rotavirus, parvovirus, brucellosis, and pinkeye. Various diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease and influenza adversely affect livestock across the globe. Economic losses due to death of livestock is significant as it impacts the supply of dairy products, meat, and other poultry products. Veterinary biologics are governed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Center for Veterinary Biologics. To combat increasing prevalence of potentially fatal veterinary diseases, there’s a significant spike in demand for combination vaccines that allow for greater accuracy and stability of the finished product. Regulations are also focusing on improving stability, consistency and quality of vaccines produced. Maintaining the quality of production will circumvent risk of side effects.
