Terrestrial Animal Health Code

The Terrestrial Animal Health Code is an international set of standards developed by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) to ensure the health and safety of terrestrial animals, such as livestock and pets. It provides guidelines for preventing, detecting, and controlling animal diseases across countries, facilitating safe trade and movement. The code helps governments, experts, and producers work together to reduce disease risks, protect animal welfare, and promote healthy agricultural practices, supporting global efforts to safeguard both animal and human health.
