Behind every healthy herd and thriving farm is a simple but powerful tool: vaccination.
By protecting livestock from preventable diseases, vaccination helps farmers reduce losses, improve productivity, safeguard their livelihoods, and build more resilient farming systems.
The series Animals & Us explores the strong connection between the health of animals and people. In GALVmed’s film, we explore how innovation, collaboration, and vaccination of livestock help protect animals, strengthen communities, and advance One Health.

Transformational improvement in the well-being and economic progression of small-scale livestock producers.
We will contribute to the transformation of small-scale livestock producers’ lives by:
Product development
GALVmed specialises in product development partnerships uniquely established to translate global research progress into tangible livestock disease control tools for the developing world.
Commercial development
Our work with our partners supports the small-scale livestock producers of the world.
Enabling environment
An enabling environment that allows for the successful translation of research products to sustainable animal health solutions for small scale livestock producers is essential to achieving GALVmed’s mission.
There are days when you spend hours behind a computer, writing stories about livestock farmers and vaccination.
And then there are days when you leave the office, stand in the middle of a farm, listen to people’s experiences firsthand, and remember exactly why those stories matter.
Diagnostic testing is the bedrock of effective animal health interventions. The workshop on Diagnostics for Effective Ruminant Disease Control in Kenya served as a springboard for co-designing a plan for strengthening Kenya’s diagnostic and surveillance system.
the Pan African Regulatory Authorities Network for Veterinary Products (PARAN-VP) is a platform designed to work alongside existing regional and national systems, strengthening the connections between them.

Livestock face a myriad of deadly diseases. Many feel there is need to accelerate the development and distribution of vaccines for chickens, cows, sheep and goats. But small homestead farmers in rural areas can struggle to access these life-saving medicines and vaccines. That’s why GALVmed aims to bring vaccines straight to their door.

A new joint policy brief by FAO, WOAH and AU-IBAR advocates for a multi-stakeholder and multi-sectoral collaboration to deliver a new generation of trypanocides for the African livestock sector.
The candidate vaccine is a novel target identified on the surface of haemorrhagic septicaemia-associated strains of Pasteurella multocida. It has demonstrated robust protection in cattle against lethal challenge with the two serogroups of Pasteurella responsible for HS.
