How many avian influenza outbreaks in 2025? How many animals have died of disease? How much to prevent the next pandemic? Are animals being fed too many antimicrobials? How can we we improve animal health?
If these questions haunt you, then tune in this week as we unveil the latest and one-of-its-kind, the State of the World's Animal Health 2026 report.
We just adopted the 8th strategic plan for 2027–2031 at #WOAHGS. Here's all that you need to know:
- This new plan is in response to the evolving animal health context. Climate change is altering disease patterns, global trade is increasing the speed of spread, and antimicrobial resistance continues to threaten treatment effectiveness. At the same time, demand for animal-source food is rising, placing additional pressure on already fragile systems.
- It treats animal health as a strategic global priority rather than a technical issue.
- It identifies 3 priorities: strengthening global standards for a changing world, empowering national animal health systems, and elevating animal health as a global priority
