Animal health economics in action

Join us for this quarter’s ENTRVST scientific webinar, which will focus on measuring the burden of animal diseases, an often-overlooked challenge that is essential for making informed decisions.

Animal health extends beyond just the care of livestock and wildlife; it is crucial for livelihoods, food security and national economies. However, the true scale and cost of animal diseases are frequently underestimated when planning policies and allocating resources.

This webinar will introduce the Global Burden of Animal Diseases (GBADs) initiative. It will highlight how innovative methods can reveal hidden impacts, guide better policies and support sustainable livestock transformation across Asia and the Pacific.
