“The role of DVS centres on food security. Before live livestock are brought into the country, we conduct analyses to assess the risks associated with imported goods, particularly diseases that could affect local livestock and potentially impact human health.”
“Seventy‑five per cent (75%) of diseases affecting humans originate from animals, including livestock.”
“Our line of defence begins before the livestock enter the country. Here, DVS plays a vital role in safeguarding national security through the protection of our food supply and imported livestock.”
