As animal disease outbreaks escalate worldwide, the urgency to act has never been greater. From African Swine Fever (ASF) and Avian Influenza (AI) to Bluetongue Virus (BTV), the growing list of infectious livestock diseases is disrupting global agriculture - threatening food security, human health, and rural livelihoods, while upending trade and supply chains. ASF alone has already inflicted severe socio-economic damage on the pork industry, which supplies over 35% of global meat consumption.
Against this backdrop, global leaders from across the livestock value chain will convene at Animal AgTech Amsterdam this October, where vaccine innovation is emerging not just as a promising frontier – but as an essential tool in strengthening animal health and ensuring agricultural resilience.
