Livestock healthcare helps to detect, prevent, and treat diseases from animals through vaccines and medications, so increasing food-borne and zoonotic diseases increases the demand for livestock healthcare products. For instance, in December 2022, according to the European Food Safety Authority, an Italy-based decentralized agency of the European Union, in Europe, there were 127,840 recorded cases of zoonotic diseases in 2021.
