While closely linked to human health, veterinary science remains a relatively unexplored field for medical translators. This is despite veterinary translation playing a vital role in environmental protection, food safety, and animal health, as well as in public health. In fact, at least 60% of all known infectious human diseases, and 75% of emerging human diseases originate in animals. Nevertheless, veterinary translation is an extremely specialised field in its own right, in which mere extrapolation from human medicine is not enough. Professional veterinary translation services are essential to ensure accuracy and compliance in the animal health industry.
