The vision for SAC’s Animal & Veterinary Sciences is to be a research business that is recognised both nationally and internationally for the quality of its science, for its leadership in anticipating stakeholder needs and in being able to translate the products of its research into real benefits for animal health and health, the rural economy and environment.
