Event Focus
1. Animal Diseases
The “Animal Diseases” topic is a core component of the Libyan International Veterinary Medicine Conference, focusing on major diseases affecting animals and their impact on animal health, public health, and food safety. This track explores the latest methods in diagnosing, preventing, and treating these diseases, while addressing emerging challenges such as zoonotic and newly evolving diseases. It aims to foster collaboration among veterinarians, health professionals, and environmental experts to support an integrated and sustainable health system that serves the One Health concept.
2. Antibiotics and Veterinary Vaccinations
Antimicrobial agents are vital in veterinary and human medicine for treating infections and ensuring food safety. However, their overuse in animals and healthcare has fueled a rise in drug-resistant bacteria, including multi-drug-resistant organisms, threatening public health. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) undermines treatments, increases mortality, and escalates costs, emphasizing the urgent need for stewardship. The *One Health concept* highlights the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, advocating for coordinated action to curb AMR through responsible antimicrobial use and surveillance.
3. Modern Technologies in Veterinary Medicine
The “Modern Technologies in Veterinary Medicine” track at the Libyan International Veterinary Medicine Conference highlights the vital role of scientific and technological advancements in supporting the veterinary profession. This track focuses on the application of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, advanced diagnostics and biotechnology in enhancing diagnostic, treatment, and preventive methods. It also explores how these innovations contribute to improved animal production, disease monitoring, and food safety. The aim is to foster collaboration among researchers and professionals to effectively integrate these technologies into the veterinary sector in Libya.
