Livestock Vaccination and One Health

Animal health is central to human & ecosystem health. Livestock vaccines improve animal health

Livestock vaccines improve animal health.

  • Fewer illnesses mean better overall well-being, less pain, stress, and suffering.
  • Livestock vaccines control the spread of infections to humans
  • Vaccination can stop disease transmission cycles between animals, wildlife, and people, reducing outbreaks of zoonotic diseases.

Livestock vaccines control the spread of infections to humans

 

Livestock vaccines control the spread of infections to humans.

  • Vaccination CAN stop disease transmission cycles between animals, wildlife, and people, reducing outbreaks of zoonotic diseases.

Livestock vaccines help slow climate change

Livestock vaccines help slow climate change.

  • Livestock vaccines cut greenhouse gas emissions by keeping animals healthy and productive, so fewer resources are needed to produce the same amount of meat, milk, or eggs.
  • Preventing disease CUTS losses and improves feed efficiency, reducing the climate impact of livestock farming.

Livestock vaccines protect food security and safety

Livestock vaccines protect food safety and security

  • Healthy animals pose a lower risk of transmitting foodborne pathogens to humans
  • This supports reliable food production and consumer health and protects farmers from supply disruptions.

Livestock vaccines increase food yields

Livestock vaccines increase food yields.

  • Livestock vaccines boost food yields by preventing disease and reducing losses in meat, milk, and egg production.

Livestock vaccines reduce pollution

Livestock vaccines reduce pollution

  • Healthier livestock require fewer medical treatments, produce less waste, and use feed and resources more efficiently
  • By reducing disease outbreaks, vaccines also cut farming’s emissions and waste impact, supporting more sustainable food production.

Livestock vaccines mitigate antimicrobial resistance

Livestock vaccines mitigate antimicrobial resistance.

  • Vaccination is a key tool in the fight to control antimicrobial resistance in animals and humans.
  • Healthier animals need fewer antibiotics, reducing the chance for resistant germs to develop and spread.
