LifeStock International works with farmers to decrease disease in their livestock. This improves the microeconomy, which in turn promotes food security and the public health, and, indirectly, wildlife and ecosystem health.
We partner with national government agencies and animal health organizations to enhance the control of transboundary animal diseases, thus enabling increased animal production and improvements to the national economy.
LifeStock International has proven training to prepare veterinarians from the developed world to provide the most useful services when working overseas. LifeStock partners with foreign colleagues to enhance their own systems.
