Description and Objective

The vision of the European Partnership on Animal Health and Welfare (EUP AH&W) is to provide society with sustainable livestock production, where infectious animal diseases are prevented and controlled with appropriate means, antimicrobials are used prudently, and animal welfare is respected in every phase of the production process. The partnership will bring together scientists, funders and authorities active in the sectors of animal health, animal welfare, public health, food safety, economic sustainability, and the environment to strengthen the cooperation between public research and innovation entities. It will also reinforce the collaboration with the animal health industry and with other stakeholders, such as Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). The partnership will encompass large number of activities, such as farm management, animal-based (welfare) measures, livestock resilience, zoonoses, in addition to vector-borne, food-borne pathogens, and emerging diseases at primary production.
