As the livestock population grows, the demand for farm animal healthcare services increases, as these services protect animals from diseases such as swine flu and avian flu, which can also affect humans, workers, and veterinarians. For instance, in September 2023, the United States Department of Agriculture, a federal agency in the US responsible for laws related to farming, forestry, rural economic development, and food, reported a 1% increase in cattle production for 2023. Cattle slaughter rates are also projected to rise in 2023 and 2024. Beef production is expected to grow by eight percent in 2023 and two percent in 2024. Brazil is anticipated to remain the world’s largest beef exporter, with exports of 3.35 million metric tons (MMT) in 2023 and 3.4 MMT in 2024, accounting for 30% of Brazil's production. Thus, the growing livestock populations are driving the expansion of the farm animal healthcare market.

Therefore, the rising zoonotic diseases will drive the farm animal healthcare market.

INNOVAX-ILT-IBD can be injected subcutaneously (at day-old) or in ovo (after around 18 days of incubation) into layers, breeder flocks and broiler chickens in the hatchery to improve early-life protection.
