Animal health and welfare

ADAS offers comprehensive expertise across the major farmed species in all aspects of the health and welfare of the animals themselves and in the formulation and delivery of policy as it affects farm animals.

We offer advice to policy makers, producers, retailers and regulators on cattle, sheep, pig and poultry welfare, disease, health planning, surveillance, husbandry and management, both on-farm and beyond the farm gate.

Our expertise in the farmed species is complemented by in-depth knowledge of animal transport, electronic animal identification and farm surveillance.  This expertise also goes beyond the farm gate, with specialists in wider food chain matters including food hygiene training, food processing and packing and food safety.

Specialist research teams provide solutions and project management services in the development of livestock vaccines and in the refinement and application of biotechnology diagnostics and recombinant protein research.
