animal health regulations

Animal health regulations are rules established by governments and organizations to ensure the well-being of animals, prevent the spread of diseases, and protect public health. They govern procedures like vaccination, disease testing, transportation, and quarantine of animals. These regulations help maintain safe and healthy livestock, pets, and wildlife, while also facilitating trade and movement across regions. By following these standards, authorities reduce risks of outbreaks, ensure animal welfare, and safeguard human health from zoonotic diseases—those transmissible between animals and people. Overall, they serve to promote responsible animal care and protect community health.
