World Organisation for Animal Health

The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) is an international body that sets standards for animal health and welfare worldwide. It helps countries work together to prevent, detect, and control diseases in animals, including those that can spread to humans (zoonoses). OIE provides scientific guidance, shares information, and promotes best practices to ensure healthy livestock, pets, and wild animals. This cooperation supports food safety, public health, and the global economy by reducing disease risks and ensuring the well-being of animals everywhere.
