Vaccines have been a very effective measure for disease control, because they help prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria between humans and animals. This procedure improves food production, preserving the well-being of animals, which translates into greater production of meat, milk, eggs and other consumer items in the country.
According to figures from the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), the 60 % of pathogens that cause disease in humans and 75 % of emerging infectious diseases have a common origin in animals. This underlines the importance of maintaining the health and welfare of animals to safeguard public health.
