摘要

The link between human and animal populations, and with the surrounding environment, is particularly close in developing regions where animals provide transportation, draught power, fuel, clothing as well as proteins (meat, eggs, and milk). Animal products do not only represent a source of high-quality food, but are also a source of income for many small farmers and animal holders in developing countries. Healthy animals are closely related to healthy people and a healthy environment.
