Track: 02: Epidemiology of animal disease

Veterinary epidemiology is the field that is concerned with the study of health and disease within populations and the various underlying factors that lead to these conditions, with a goal of preventing the spread of such future incidents of illness (it may also be used for investigation of issues for eg. animal welfare and productivity). Veterinary epidemiology also involves the investigation of different patterns of disease within a population, in relation to which animals are affected, the spatial distribution of affected animals, and the temporal distribution of affected animals (i.e. patterns of disease through time). It is thus considered the cornerstone of public health, productive medicine, and preventive medicine.

Track: 03: Animal health

Animal health signifies how an animal is adjusting with the conditions in which it lives. A good state of welfare is depicted if an  animal is healthy, comfortable, well nourished, safe, able to express innate behaviour, and if it is not suffering from any unpleasant states such as pain, fear, and distress. Animal welfare refers to the state of the animal; the treatment that an animal receives such as animal care, animal husbandry, and humane treatment. Good animal welfare demands disease prevention and veterinary treatment, appropriate shelter, management, nutrition, humane handling.

Track: 04: Animal diseases

Animal disease  is principally concerned to disease to which animals are liable and whereby the normal functions of any organ or any body part of an animal is impaired or disturbed by any protozoon, bacterium, virus, fungus, parasite, other organism or agent. All animal diseases have the potential to adversely affect human populations by reducing the quantity and quality of food, other livestock products such as hides, skins, fibres. Transboundary Animal Diseases (TADs) are epidemic disease which are highly contagious or transmissible and have the potential for very rapid spread, irrespective of national borders, causing serious socio-economic. These diseases which cause a high morbidity and mortality in susceptible animal population, constitute a constant threat to the livelihood of livestock farmers. Furthermore, their potential consequences have such a magnitude that their occurrence may also have a significant detrimental effect on national economies.

Global Market Research:

Poultry: Since the beginning of this year, the U.S. poultry industry has been confronted with multiple outbreaks of Highly-Pathogenic Avian Influenza, a virus lethal to poultry. To date, the heaviest incidence of the virus has fallen on table egg layers and on turkeys in Midwestern States. The current outbreak of Avian Influenza (AI) has not significantly impacted the production of broiler meat. The turkey industry has seen AI impact both its production and exports.

As of June 9, 2015, outbreaks in commercial or backyard flocks have been reported in 15 States, primarily located in the Midwest and on the West Coast. Iowa has historically been the leading producer of table eggs in the United States, and Minnesota has led the nation in turkey production. Table egg production in April totaled 593 million dozen, 0.6 percent lower than a year earlier. The forecast for table egg production for 2015 was lowered to 6.9 billion dozen, a decline of 5.3 percent from 2014 and a decrease of 334 million dozen compared with last forecast. Egg production for 2016 is forecast to be 7.0 billion dozen; an increase of 2.0 percent over 2015’s forecast. Eggs in the New York region averaged $1.69 in May 2015, about 30 percent higher than in May 2014. The forecast for 2015 stands at $1.60 to $1.66 per dozen; about 15 percent higher than in 2014. The price for 2016 is forecast at between $1.36 - $1.47 per dozen. Total production of hatching eggs in 2015 is forecast at 1.1 billion dozen, 4 percent higher than in 2014.The 2016 forecast is 385 million dozen, a 4.3-percent increase over the forecast for 2015.

Boiler meat production estimate for second-quarter 2015 was increased by 25 million pounds to 10.1 billion pounds, up 5 percent from the previous year due to a combination of higher live weights and more birds going to slaughter. Prices for whole broilers are forecast at $1.03 to $1.06 per pound in second-quarter 2015. Fourth-quarter whole bird prices are expected to be $0.96 to $1.04 per pound, down slightly from $1.03 per pound the previous year. The estimate for 2016 was unchanged at $0.99 to $1.07 per pound, a small increase from 2015. The total for 2015 is 6.8 billion pounds, a reduction of 50 million pounds from the previous forecast.

Overall turkey stocks at the end of April totaled 394 million pounds, up 5 percent from the previous year. The ending stocks estimate for second-quarter 2015 was lowered to 500 million pounds, down 25 million pounds from the previous forecast, but still 8 percent higher than the previous year. The ending stocks forecast for 2016 was 250 million pounds, a reduction of 25 million pounds as production by the end of 2016 is expected to be moving toward recovery to pre-HPAI levels. Turkey exports in April totaled 42.4 million pounds, down 27 percent from the previous year.

Beef/Cattle
Falling beef prices and improved pasture conditions will likely intensify cattle producers’ summer grazing intentions. Improved pasture conditions will provide forage for the already low cow numbers, and fewer cows will be slaughtered. Improved pasture conditions will also provide a longer grazing season for feeder cattle, which will leave fewer cattle for placement in feedlots until the end of the grazing season this fall. Falling fed cattle and beef prices have led to negative cattle feeding and beef packer margins as consumers appear to be backing away from beef at its recent record prices.

Placements of cattle weighing 800+ lbs totaled 640,000 head, continuing as the largest net placement category. After topping $260/cwt in May, the weekly choice cutout value has declined and is now trading around $250/cwt (as of the week ending June 5th).

April exports of beef were 199.6 million pounds, down 3.6 percent from last year. However, the April trade data did show some signs of improved demand for U.S. beef in international markets such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The data also showed increased beef shipments to smaller global markets (volume-wise) such as the Netherlands, Philippines, Dominican Republic, and Italy. Shipments to other top trading partners such as Mexico, Canada, and Hong Kong experienced declines relative to the previous year. Total exports of U.S. beef are expected to rise slightly in 2016 to 2.51 billion pounds. Imports of beef into the United States for 2015 are expected to reach 3.3 billion pounds. For 2016, USDA is forecasting annual beef imports at 2.92 billion pounds, down 11.9 percent relative to 2015 as U.S. domestic beef supply increases and supplies of Australian beef tighten.

Pork/Hogs
Second-quarter U.S. pork production is expected to be 5.9 billion lbs, almost 7 percent above a year ago, as the U.S. pork industry continues to recover from Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PEDv). Second-quarter hog prices are expected to average $54-$55 per hundredweight (cwt), about 36 percent below the second quarter of 2014. April pork exports were year-over-year higher for the first time since June 2014, as low U.S. prices offset some of the effects of high U.S. dollar exchange rates.

USDA increased the forecast for second-quarter commercial pork production by 60 million lbs, to account for higher than expected hog slaughter in May and continued larger kills in June than initially expected. For the balance of the quarter, the retail composite pork price is expected to average in the low $3.80s per lb and in the high $3.70s per lb for 2015. Federally inspected pork production in April was 8.2 percent higher than in April 2014—when porcine epidemic diarrhea was active in U.S. hog herds— and 6.5 percent above production in April 2013. For 2015, total pork exports are expected to be 4.915 billion lbs, about 1 percent above exports last year.

Dairy
Dairy export forecasts on a milk-equivalent, skim-solids basis have been raised to 38.7 billion pounds for 2015 and 39.5 billion pounds for 2016. Forecasts for milk production have been raised to 208.7 billion pounds for 2015 and 213.9 billion pounds for 2016. Annual forecasts for the all-milk price are $17.15-$17.55 per hundredweight (cwt) for 2015 and $17.45-$18.45 per cwt for 2016.

Commercial exports of dairy products on a milk-equivalent skim-solids basis were 3.806 billion pounds, 0.238 billion pounds above April 2014 and 0.122 billion pounds above March 2015. April exports on a milk-equivalent, milk fat basis were 0.905 billion pounds, 0.359 billion pounds below April 2014 and 0.017 billion pounds below March 2015. NDM/SMP exports to other trading partners have more than made up for the declines. U.S. exports of NDM/SMP to China, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia from January through April 2015 were lower than January through April 2014 exports, but NDM/SMP exports to Mexico and Pakistan were substantially higher. In 2015, the U.S. domestic price has been below the Oceania export price and has essentially converged with the European export price.

Cheddar cheese prices increased from $1.614 to $1.661 per pound for 40- pound blocks and from $1.666 to $1.672 per pound for 500-pound barrels (adjusted to 38-percent moisture). The prices of NDM decreased from $0.942 to $0.947 per pound. Corn and soybean meal price forecasts for the 2015/16 marketing year are unchanged from last month’s forecasts at $3.20-3.80 per bushel and $305-345 per short ton, respectively.

 2015 forecast for the cheese price has been raised to $1.635-$1.675 per pound. With recent price changes and abundant supplies, price forecasts for butter, NDM, and dry whey have been lowered, respectively, to $1.800-$1.870, $1.005-$1.045, and 46.5-48.5 cents per pound. With lower forecasts for butter and nonfat dry milk, the Class IV price forecast has been lowered to $14.20-$14.70 per cwt. Changes in class prices are largely offsetting, resulting in an all-milk price forecast that is unchanged at the midpoint from last month’s forecast at $17.15-$17.55 per cwt.

This is an increase of 0.4 billion pounds compared with last month’s forecast, a year-over-year increase of 0.8 billion pounds and 0.3 billion pounds higher than the previous record of 2014. The 2016 forecast for NDM has been lowered to $1.195-$1.265 per pound as U.S. exporters maintain relatively low prices to meet competition. The dry whey price forecast has been lowered to 50.5-53.5 cents per pound. The cheese price forecast is unchanged from last month at $1.610-$1.710 per pound. The butter price forecast is $1.720-$1.850 per pound. With lower prices forecast for NDM and dry whey, Class III and IV prices have been lowered to $16.15-$17.15 and $15.40-$16.50 per cwt, respectively. The all-milk price forecast is unchanged at $17.45-$18.45 per cwt.

Scope:

Among largely agrarian economies, which are home to the majority of the world’s poor, livestock are an integral part of smallholder crop-livestock farming systems. There is thus much greater scope for investment in livestock sector development for poverty reduction than generally realized, particularly in development that enables smallholders to take advantage of the growing demand for livestock products by more affluent members of society.‘Nearly three-quarters of the extremely poor—that is around 1 billion people—live in rural areas and, despite growing urbanization, more than half of the “dollar-poor” will reside in rural areas until approximately 2035. Most rural households depend on agriculture as part of their livelihoods and around 90 percent of the world’s extremely poor are small-scale farmers.
Globally, the numbers of poor livestock keepers have been increasing at a rate of about 1.4 percent per year. In terms of the absolute numbers of poor livestock keepers (less than $2/day), South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa dominate: more than 45 and 25 percent of the estimated 752 million poor livestock keepers live in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa respectively. A combined strategy for livestock and staple crop productivity growth, exploiting the close linkage between these two sectors, would have the strongest income-multiplier and poverty-reduction benefits.India's animal feed industry is expected to double in size, to $30 billion in 5 years, with poultry, cattle and aqua feed sectors as major growth drivers, reports The Financial Express.

Upheaval of veterinary in USA

Veterinary field is one of the fastest growing in the United States. Demand for new treatments such as hip replacements, blood transfusions and cancer treatments are helping to drive the increase. Veterinarian job growth is expected to increase 27.6% in 2016. While the veterinary care industry is growing, it’s the technician and technologist positions that are projected to have the largest increase in the next two years. Job growth for veterinary technologists and technicians is expected to increase by 41% in 2016. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics says this is because pet owners are becoming more affluent while the number of pets continues to grow, so technologists and technicians able to provide specialized services will continue to be in demand.

The ability to provide veterinary services begins in the market for veterinary education, the source of labour in the veterinary markets’ supply chain. Veterinary education is provided by U.S. accredited domestic and foreign schools as well as non-U.S. accredited foreign schools. These schools are both non-profit and for-profit institutions. For the 28 U.S. veterinary colleges the average fees have increased from $10,549 to $25,017 between 1999 and 2014.

In 2014, an estimated 100,137 veterinarians were actively practicing veterinary medicine in the United States. The market for veterinarians is comprised of multiple, horizontally related markets. Veterinarians have numerous employment options upon graduation, including private practice (e.g. companion animal, food animal, mixed animal, equine), public practice (e.g. university, government, uniformed services), industry and non-profits. In 2014, an estimated 100,137 veterinarians were actively practicing veterinary medicine in the United States. The largest share of veterinarians was employed in companion animal medicine (66.5 percent). The remaining share of veterinarians practice in university and colleges (6.3 percent), food animal medicine (6.1 percent), equine medicine (4.4 percent) and mixed animal medicine (3.9 percent).

         Figure 1: Funding in Veterinary Research

The outlook is improving for the veterinary profession. For the next two years, the growth rate of U.S. gross domestic product is projected to increase to 3.4 percent, which will improve the financial picture for veterinary practices. The veterinary education market is at, or very near, equilibrium. Historically, the demand for education has exceeded the supply, so that the supply of new veterinarians is equal to the number of available seats. However, the cost of veterinary education is forecast to rise faster than the rate of increase in veterinary compensation, so at some point the higher priced seats will likely be left vacant. This will result in constant class sizes of new veterinarians from 2018-2025. On the other hand, the market for veterinarians is not in equilibrium. The level of compensation offered to new veterinarians is not sufficient to provide a positive return on educational investment despite low unemployment, a negative underemployment rate, and an increasing proportion of veterinary practices working at full capacity. With constant class sizes forecast for 2018-2025 and a growing number of pets over the same period, the forecast for excess capacity in the market for veterinary services will decline, reaching a low of 6 percent.

Scope and Importance:

Veterinary research includes research on prevention, control, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases of animals and on the basic biology, welfare, and care of animals. Veterinary research transcends species boundaries and includes the study of spontaneously occurring and experimentally induced models of both human and animal disease and research at human-animal interfaces, such as food safety, wildlife and ecosystem health, zoonotic diseases, and public policy. Veterinary research has the potential to immensely impact the fields of comparative medicine, public health and food safety, and animal health; but its ability to reach its potential relies on adequate infrastructural, financial, and human resources.

Veterinary research has the potential to immensely impact the fields of comparative medicine, public health and food safety, and animal health; but its ability to reach its potential relies on adequate infrastructural, financial, and human resources. Veterinary research has evolved to address societal changes. Companion animals play a central role in the quality of life of an increasing proportion of the public; the beneficial psychosocial effects of the human-animal bond are widely accepted. Companion animals are also important sentinels for human disease and toxicant exposure, and companion-animal research improves our understanding of zoonotic diseases and how to address them; diagnostic and therapeutic data from companion animals can often be translated to human medicine. Because the health, well-being, and longevity of companion animals are a growing concern for a substantial portion of society, demand for research on companion animal health and disease has increased; indeed, it is crucial for improving the health and welfare of these animals, which serve not only as companions, but as aides, detectives, and soldiers.

In addition to the health of food and companion animals, the health of wildlife and ecosystems is of special importance to an increasingly urban and affluent society. The countryside is increasingly affected by urban development and industrial agriculture. There is growing concern about wildlife preservation and endangered species and growing recognition of the value of wildlife as sentinels for environmental health generally.

SPOTLIGHT

The veterinary education market is at or very near equilibrium. The outlook for both the near and long term is improving for the veterinary profession, as the recession that began in December of 2007 continues to fade and the U.S. economy begins to return to the longer-term growth trend. Better information on veterinary markets will enhance the profession’s ability to develop strategies to improve the efficiency of the markets and assist in attempts to reach desired market outcomes. Modern veterinary research has markedly improved the quality of life of animals and humans, as indicated by numerous historical achievements. The demands on veterinary research have not diminished but rather have increased, with such emerging threats as bioterrorism and emerging infectious diseases. Veterinary and comparative medicine research is becoming a more pressing need than ever before. The ability of veterinary researchers to address the threats of animal disease and to meet societal needs depends largely on the nation's research capacity. Because research resources are finite, it is important to set a research agenda that will address high-priority issues and anticipate future needs and that can be executed effectively.
