Full Report - Animal Health and Sustainability: a Global Data Analysis

18/04/2023

Oxford Analytica, a leading research and analysis firm, recently developed a new report – Animal Health and Sustainability: A Global Data Analysis, which was commissioned by HealthforAnimals. The report analyses the relationship between animal health and the three pillars of sustainability, environmental, economic and social.

The report provides substantial new data on the link between animal health and sustainability. Oxford Analytica created a unique model and research that produced findings such as:

  • Livestock disease losses cause $358.4B in lost production per year
  • A fall in livestock disease of 10 percentage points is associated with an 800 million tonne decrease in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
  • Poultry disease was associated with a 5% rise in hunger in 2019 –equal to an additional 34 million people going hungry.
  • every percentage point reduction in global beef cattle losses due to disease could provide enough additional production to meet the consumption needs of 317 million people
