Keeping livestock healthy and well cared for improves animal, human, ecosystem and economic health.

People are healthier when their food is nutritious, safe from germs and chemicals, and is handled in clean environments.

Complex health problems affecting people, animals and the environment are best tackled through integrated ‘one health’ investments and policies that unite and apply multi-sectoral medical, veterinary and ecosystem expertise.

Maintaining good animal health and welfare brings widespread development benefits to people in low- and middle-income countries and contributes to a sustainable future for all.

People are healthier—and safer—when their livestock are healthy; we need to detect animal diseases early and to manage them effectively—before they jump to people.

Ecosystem conservation and livestock-keeping must work hand in hand for the sake of better human, animal and environmental health.      

Prudent use of antimicrobials in animal farming safeguards their continued effective use in veterinary and medical health care.

Our health is improved when decisions include all perspectives; investing in gender-responsive interventions increases the potential for success and leaves no-one behind.
