Veterinarians have a key role in preventing zoonotic diseases between animals and humans and to ensure the best welfare and food production for animals to ensure the best food quality and food safety for humans. As seen in the coronavirus epidemics the health status of animals can greatly impact on the health of humans. As the Course Leader for Food Safety and Regulations (VM3003) within our BVM program it is important for our veterinary students to see how in future they could be involved in the Food industry as food and feed inspectors, animal welfare experts working for governmental agencies or the food industry. However, universities cannot recreate such facilities on campus and need to develop key partnerships with such industries.
