Panel // Next-Gen Animal Health and Biosecurity: Unlocking Market Growth with Smarter Diagnostics, Vaccines and Digital Surveillance Tools
- As diseases such as Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), African Swine Fever (ASF), Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS), Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD), and New World Screwworm (NWS) spread globally, how significant is the threat of a future animal pandemic?
- How are industry, academia, and government agencies collaborating on disease control? Should vaccine R&D or biosecurity investment take priority, and what role do animal health start-ups play?
- How viable are RNAi and mRNA vaccines for livestock? Which diseases are being targeted, and what regulatory or trade barriers remain?
- Is the future of animal healthcare moving toward more targeted, precision-based solutions? Will the cost of tailored health programs eventually be outweighed by productivity and performance gains?
- How are agtech and digital monitoring tools transforming early disease detection? How can the value of these preventative technologies be best demonstrated to farmers, and what role does AI play in predicting outbreaks and guiding real-time interventions?
