Animal Healthcare Market Dynamics
Widespread implementation of animal vaccination programs
Animal healthcare market has become a important due to greater incidences of disease outbreaks along with large-scale farming which requires animal feed additives of high quality, vaccines as well as hygiene management products. The rising consumer concerns as to from how and where the feed for animals is produced is giving rise to a tougher scrutiny of rearing and feeding practices of animals in the market.

Antibiotics are administered to animals in feed to marginally improve growth rates and to prevent infections, a practice projected to increase dramatically worldwide over the next 15 years. There is growing evidence that antibiotic resistance in humans is promoted by the widespread use of non therapeutic antibiotics in animals. Resistant bacteria are transmitted to humans through direct contact with animals, by exposure to animal manure, through consumption of undercooked meat, and through contact with uncooked meat or surfaces meat.

Health care providers can also encourage their individual patients to purchase meat that is sustainably raised without the overuse of antibiotics.
