Abstract
The world population is growing at an unprecedented rate, and so is the requirement for food. To keep up with this demand, the agricultural industry has adopted a more industrialized approach to food production. However, this has led to the emergence of new diseases and increased mortality in animals, which can have a devastating impact on the industry. It is essential to ensure the health and welfare of animals to maintain sustainable food production. The importance of animal health in food production is complimentary to the risks associated with animal diseases, and the measures that can be taken to mitigate these risks. From vaccination programs to biosecurity measures, we will explore the best practices to ensure the safety and sustainability of our food supply chain.
