Animal health is central in improving nutrition and livelihoods. Principal Investigators from the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Livestock Systems synthesized overarching concerns and identified opportunities for enhancement. Various educational institutes provide differing levels of training and oversight. Few of educational establishments have a system for accreditation and/or periodic review. The public sector for animal health, which is that portion funded by tax dollars, often also supplies health care delivery for more common and treatable diseases, which dilutes government resources and inhibits the effective development of a sustainable private sector. There are insufficient connections and understandings between researchers and government, so that applied problems do not receive sufficient attention. Addressing these problems could promote the livelihoods and nutrition of many.

动物健康对改善营养和生计至关重要。Feed for Livestock Systems未来创新实验室的主要研究人员综合了总体问题，并确定了改进的机会。各种教育机构提供不同程度的培训和监督。很少有教育机构具有认证和/或定期审查的系统。动物卫生的公共部门（由税收筹集资金）通常还为较常见和可治疗的疾病提供卫生保健服务，这稀释了政府资源并阻碍了可持续私营部门的有效发展。研究人员与政府之间的联系和了解不足，因此应用的问题没有得到足够的重视。
