Theme: “Healthy Animal, Thriving Nation”

This year’s theme shows how animal health is closely linked to national development. Healthy fisheries and livestock ensure safe and nutritious food, create jobs, support rural livelihoods, and help reduce poverty. Healthy pet animals also benefit people by improving physical and mental wellbeing and contributing to the economy.

Strong veterinary care and biosecurity lower the risk of diseases that can spread from animals to humans, protecting both people and the environment. Overall, the theme reflects Bangladesh’s goal to strengthen food security, expand trade and exports, and compete successfully in regional and global markets.
