New Animal Health Surveillance Strategy launched for 2023-2028 

There are a number of key goals the Department of Agriculture has outlined around animal health in the new strategy.

Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue has said that animal health surveillance data are an "invaluable resource which help to optimise the monitoring and control of diseases known to be present throughout the country’s animal populations".

The Animal Health Surveillance Strategy 2023-2028 has been launched.

Animal health surveillance refers to the collection, processing, and dissemination of animal health and disease information.
