Building together Animal Health Europe
To ensure the smooth running of the Single Market and meet growing health threats, the European Union is following a health strategy based on the principle that prevention is better than cure. FESASS fully supports this approach, as only preventive action can guarantee long-term health status. We want this approach to be applied both individually and collectively on every farm in the European Union.

Ours members
FESASS brings together the professional organizations in charge of Animal Health in 10 Member States, and represents 85% of the European Union’s bovine livestock and 3/4 of pig, sheep and goat livestock. It also represents other species such as poultry and bees.
