Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal strategy for the prevention and control of high pathogenicity avian influenza (2024–2033)
Achieving sustainable, resilient poultry production systems
2025Also available in:
No results found.In response to the escalating threat of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) have launched a revised global strategy for the prevention and control of HPAI (2024–2033) under the Global Framework for the Progressive Control of Transboundary Animal Diseases (GF-TADs). This updated strategy builds upon lessons from the 2008 framework and responds to new epidemiological challenges, including the widespread emergence and persistence of H5Nx viruses.Adopting a One Health approach, the strategy recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal and environmental health. It aims to reduce the impact of HPAI on poultry while enhancing the resilience and sustainability of agrifood systems. By strengthening disease surveillance, improving biosecurity, and promoting science-driven interventions—including responsible vaccination and poultry sector transformation—the strategy seeks to prevent outbreaks, protect livelihoods, and minimize risks to public health.Multistakeholder collaboration is central to its implementation, with a strong emphasis on public–private partnerships to ensure effective implementation. Through continuous monitoring, evaluation, and adaptation, the strategy provides a flexible yet structured framework that enables countries to tailor prevention and control measures to their specific contexts. -
Book (series)GuidelineRecommendations for the surveillance of influenza A(H5N1) in cattle
With broader application to other farmed mammals
2024As influenza A(H5N1) of clade 2.3.4.4b continues to spread from wild birds to poultry and to both terrestrial and marine mammals, the recent cases in cattle highlight the critical importance of being prepared for and responding rapidly to spillover events and of planning for early detection and response at the country level, especially in countries of low and middle income. These recommendations from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) aim to support countries in enhancing influenza A(H5N1) surveillance in cattle populations, with broader application to other farmed mammals, to inform risk assessment and evidence-based disease control measures. Integrated surveillance strategies can leverage existing programmes for avian influenza and other cattle diseases, enabling countries to enhance monitoring capabilities while maintaining cost efficiency. With regard to preparing effectively, FAO recommends a combination of different surveillance methods including risk-based surveillance strategies tailored to individual country contexts. Adopting these recommendations will strengthen early detection efforts, support evidence-based decision-making and help implement targeted risk mitigation measures to protect both livestock and public health. -
Poster, bannerPoster / banner / roll-up / folderHow to reduce the use of antibiotics in dairy cattle 2022This leaflet will help to increase the awareness on how to reduce the use of antimicrobials in dairy cattle. Intended for dairy farmers and dairy veterinarians, the document lists in a plain but concise language the ten key recommendations related to husbandry and animal health management that will eventually lead to reduction in the need, and therefore use, of antibiotics in dairy cattle.
