Animal Health Economics

Animal health economics studies how resources are allocated to improve the health and wellbeing of animals, including livestock, pets, and wildlife. It evaluates the costs and benefits of health interventions, such as vaccines, treatments, and management practices, to ensure efficient use of limited resources. This field helps farmers, veterinarians, and policymakers make informed decisions that promote healthy animals, prevent disease, and support sustainable agricultural and ecological systems while considering economic impacts. Ultimately, it aims to improve animal health outcomes in a cost-effective manner that benefits society as a whole.
