Cancer is now the leading cause of death in pets. If we look at humans, statistically, cancer is one of the top causes of death in humans around the globe and there is a lot of medical literature and ongoing research on the development, treatment, and control of the disease. However, when it comes to cancer in animals, research and knowledge are limited and the disease is as common in pets as it is in humans, specifically in dogs. Nearly 30% of the cats and 50% of the dogs in the US are diagnosed with a type of cancer after crossing the age of ten. There is great opportunity here to solve a serious unmet medical need. Hosted by Elanco Animal Health, this presentation will provide a case study and example of how to realise the opportunities for canine oncology in animal health today.

Prior to Covid-19, the veterinary profession was being disrupted by changes in customer needs and customer expectations and these have been heightened by the recent pandemic. It also has challenges with talent management and talent acquisition. Technology has the potential to positively influence the direction in which the profession is headed and to enable owners of vet practice to better connect with the pet owners and ultimately increase revenues.

Customer expectations around animal welfare and sustainability are driving significant change in the livestock industry and increasingly food producers and suppliers are looking at new digital technologies to support animal health and wellness. Innovations such as smart monitoring and surveillance of livestock have already proven valuable but more advanced solutions such as artificial intelligence, big data and blockchain also boast incredible potential. This panel will explore these potential technologies through a more practical ‘farm to fork’ lens and in doing so, provide guidance to emerging companies looking to solve of agriculture’s most pressing challenges.
