Global demand for food Global demand for food securitysecurity
Population growth: +1 billion people by 2050
Shift from poverty to middle-class
Increase in the number of daily meals and the protein intake of individuals
Some projections indicate that the demand for animal protein will increase by 50%
• especially in developing countries

Aquaculture and food Aquaculture and food securitysecurity
Aquaculture is the fastest growing food producing sector (annual growth @ 8.4% p.a. since 1970)
Aquaculture provides high quality animal protein
Animal health, food security and public health are linked
To satisfy the global demand for protein-based foods, aquatic animal production must be intensified
Aquaculture development brings new aquatic animal disease risks and threats to the environment
Aquatic animal diseases represent a major limitation to efficient aquaculture production and a constraint on international trade;
![Page 5: OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTATIONS Dr Bernard Vallat Director General.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55153bd05503465e608b5e67/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Aquaculture: particular Aquaculture: particular challengeschallenges
Countries need efficient aquatic animal health programmes to increase production of safe products in an environmentally sustainable way and to participate in international trade;
Veterinarians and other health professionals play a key role in the establishment and implementation of aquatic animal health programs; but resources and qualified/skilled professionals are often lacking
Aquatic Animal Health Services, whether part of the Veterinary Services or not, frequently lack financial resources and infrastructure, including legislation, to implement efficient aquatic animal health programs.

The ‘Global Public Good’ The ‘Global Public Good’ ConceptConcept
The benefits of control and eradication of infectious diseases, are international and inter generational in scope.
Countries depend on each other – the failure of one endangers all
Animal health systems are not a strictly commercial or agricultural good. They are fully eligible for national and global public resourcesSupporting animal health systems: Supporting animal health systems:

5th OIE Strategic Plan: Key 5th OIE Strategic Plan: Key conceptsconcepts
Food Security and Food Safety Increasing demand for a global supply of safe food Food security, especially the supply of affordable
high quality protein, is a key public health concern Animal health programs contribute to food security
and food safety Veterinary Services and aquatic animal health
services play a key role in meeting societal expectations.
Standard Setting The OIE is the unique global organisation setting
science-based standards and guidelines for animal health (including zoonoses), animal welfare and animal production food safety

5th Strategic Plan: Key 5th Strategic Plan: Key conceptsconcepts
Animal welfare: a strategic engagement Animal health is a key component of animal welfare OIE, with the mandate of its Members, is recognised
globally as the leader in setting international animal welfare standards
Veterinary education High quality veterinarians play an essential role in
society Need for standardisation of the veterinary diploma,
both initial and continuing education The OIE role in developing standards, including for
aquatic animal health, progressed through OIE Global Conferences (Paris 2009 and Lyon 2011).

Aquatic Animal Health Standards Commission oversees production of the Aquatic Code and Aquatic Manual;
1st edition of the Aquatic Code and Manual produced in 1995;
Recent developments include Code chapters on:• welfare of farmed fish• prudent use of antimicrobial agents in aquatic animals • criteria for safety of aquatic animal commodities• control of hazards in feed• New listing of two diseases of amphibians

There is an urgent need to address the issues associated with antimicrobial use in aquatic animals
Very few effective compounds have been developed and authorised for use in aquatic animals
Use in aquatic animals involves the deliberate introduction of these chemicals into the food chain and the environment
Uncontrolled use can lead to the emergence of resistant bacteria, which reduces the therapeutic value of antimicrobials…leading to
Public perception of a “drug-based” industry and consumer aversion to aquaculture products.

The OIE recognises that this issue has important implications for human health, animal health and the environment
We are developing standards and recommendations to Members through an ad hoc Group on Antimicrobial Resistance and Aquatic Animals
The Chair of the ad hoc Group will make a presentation at this conference on the steps that need to be taken to manage these risks.

Increasing numbers of Members engage in standard development by submitting comments on draft texts
Experts are drawn from OIE reference centres and from all regions to participate in OIE ad hoc Groups, which report to Working Groups (Animal Welfare, Wildlife and Animal Production Food Safety) and/or Elected Commissions
Creation of National Aquatic Animal Focal Points (AAFP), under the authority of the National Delegate, help to strengthen engagement and implementation of standards
• to date, 147 Members have nominated AAFP.

PVS Pathway and PVS Pathway and Aquatic Animal Health ServicesAquatic Animal Health Services OIE PVS Pathway is a proven tool to help Members strengthen
Veterinary Services
OIE has developed a modified Tool for use in the evaluation of Aquatic Animal Health Services (AAHS)
The same principles apply
There are some differences (e.g. the role played by veterinarians as opposed to aquatic animal health professionals
The revised Tool is being further refined through pilot evaluations of AAHS
I encourage all Delegates to consider requesting an evaluation.
![Page 31: OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTATIONS Dr Bernard Vallat Director General.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55153bd05503465e608b5e67/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
OIE asks Members to appoint national focal points in 7 specific areas, under the authority of the National Delegate.
The role of focal points is primarily to support the national Delegate in meeting his/her OIE obligations
The OIE provides regular seminars for FP in each region.

Veterinary EducationVeterinary Education Initial and continuing veterinary education is a key
tool for global good governance
The aquatic sector needs better access to appropriately trained and skilled veterinarians
There is an urgent need to improve the education of both veterinarians and aquatic animal health professionals
The OIE is developing a list of day 1 competencies, including aquatic animal health, for veterinary graduates; considered as minimum requirements –countries may adopt stricter standards
The Veterinary Statutory Body is responsible for recognition and quality control procedures.
![Page 33: OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTATIONS Dr Bernard Vallat Director General.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55153bd05503465e608b5e67/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
