In a September 2022 interview, Jamie Brannan, then President of International Operations at Zoetis, discussed the company's role in animal health and sustainability. He stated that farmers "need to do more with less" and emphasized the importance of preventative medicine, including vaccines and genomics testing, to reduce disease incidence and the overuse of antibiotics. Brannan noted that "healthier animals are going to support the drive to reduce global greenhouse gases" and align with the European Green Deal's sustainability goals. He described Zoetis as investing "disproportionately in innovation across the continuum of care," including diagnostics, data solutions, and therapeutics for both livestock and pets. Brannan also commented on market trends, saying the pet ownership market is "very positive globally" with millennials and Gen Z driving "a greater level of humanization of pets" and demand for higher standards of care. He pointed to a growing need for animal protein as the global population grows, while noting challenges such as climate change and disease outbreaks like African swine fever and avian flu. Brannan suggested that the speed of COVID-19 vaccine development serves as "a great case study" for accelerating innovation pathways in animal health, and he advocated for closer collaboration with governments to support farmers through grants and investment.
“Farmers need to do more with less and they need to be more sustainable in their approach. We need to think differently about antibiotics to treat sick animals while preventing antibiotic resistance, supporting farmers and vets to produce in a sustainable manner.”
“Healthier animals are going to support the drive to reduce global greenhouse gases. Better cared for and more productive animals will help reduce emissions, which aligns with the European Green Deal's sustainability goals.”
“The drive to reduce antibiotic sales by 50% by 2030 is critical. Preventative medicine, including vaccines and genomics testing, will reduce disease incidence and the overuse of antibiotics, helping to preserve their effectiveness.”
“Zoetis invests disproportionately in innovation across the continuum of care, including genomics testing, vaccines, therapeutics, digital diagnostics, and data solutions to better support farmers and pet owners.”
“The market for pet ownership is very positive globally, with millennials and Gen Z leading the way. There's a greater level of humanization of pets, leading to increased demand for medicalization and higher standards of care.”
“We see a growing need for animal protein as the global population grows and westernizes. Managing different types of proteins sustainably is a challenge, especially with climate change and disease outbreaks like African swine fever and avian flu.”
“The speed of reaction to disease management is critical, and having the right data and big players involved is essential. Zoetis' capabilities and partnerships are key to delivering solutions efficiently and effectively.”
“We have always had a good relationship with governments, but we could work closer to support farmers, especially regarding political initiatives on climate change, grants, and investments to make innovation more efficient and accessible.”
“The COVID-19 vaccine development speed is a great case study for how we can accelerate innovation pathways in animal health to bring products to market safely and quickly.”
