Introduction
In the realm of modern medicine, few breakthroughs have had as profound impact on public health as vaccines. These remarkable tools, often heralded as the silver bullets of preventative medicine, stand as a testament to human ingenuity & collective effort. This conference explored the paramount importance of vaccines in safeguarding generational well-being. By harnessing the power of our immune systems, vaccines have successfully shielded us from clutches of devastating diseases that once ran rampant, leaving countless lives in their wake. Vaccines also play a pivotal role in the poultry &livestock sectors serving as indispensable tools in maintaining animal health, ensuring food safety and sustaining global food production. By safeguarding poultry &livestock from spectrum of infectious diseases, vaccines not only alleviate the suffering of animals but also mitigate the economic losses incurred by farmers and potential risk of zoonotic diseases crossing over to humans and posing serious public health threats. By preventing the spread of diseases at source, poultry &livestock vaccines are instrumental in reducing the risk of pandemics and enhancing the resilience of communities worldwide. Thus, in the one Health framework, livestock vaccines emerge as a cornerstone for promoting the harmony of health across species, preserving ecosystems and fostering a healthier future for all. In essence, vaccines are the foundation of resilient and sustainable livestock sector, supporting the wellbeing of animals and the reliable supply of safe and nutritious animal-derived products critical for global food security.
