The India Veterinary Healthcare Market is set for sig­nificant growth, driven by the need for food security for a large population, the importance of livestock in diets, and rising awareness of personal health and pet own­ership post-COVID-19. Key segments like poultry, dairy, and aquaculture are major contributors, with companies like Saife Vetmed India diversifying to meet evolving demands. However, challenges remain in ensuring disease-free farm­ing practices and maintaining food safety throughout the supply chain.
