These priorities including FMD, African Swine Fever, PRRS, bovine tuberculosis, brucellosis, vector-borne diseases, helminths, coronaviruses and AMR and the Development of Innovative Alternatives. Critical research gaps, challenges and bottlenecks are identified by expert working groups and developed into Research Roadmaps onto which current research projects are mapped allowing the IRC and wider research community to assess the extent to which they are being addressed and identify the areas requiring further investment. Recognising the importance of establishing links and partnerships along the research pipeline to ensure that research is taken forward by industry and translated into products for the livestock sector, the IRC is seeking to engage participants of Animal Health Innovation LATAM in these activities. The current IRC partners include the European Commission, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Zoetis, the OIE and national funding bodies from 17 countries.
