Animal Health
Maintaining animal health, which in turn supports human health, is a crucial component of the U.S. economy. Companies in the animal health sector invest heavily in research and development to create cutting-edge medicines for both food-producing and companion animals. The animal health industry works closely with farmers, ranchers, government agencies, veterinarians, and other stakeholders to safeguard the well-being of animals, ensure public health, and maintain a safe food supply.
College Station’s focus on animal health is a key part of its identity, driven by the presence of Texas A&M University’s leading veterinary school and a vibrant community of animal health-focused companies.
