There is an aspect of glass-half-full/glass-half-empty in the Animal Health industry with large animal and agricultural consolidations being offset by the significant growth in companion animal markets. The largest factor influencing the recruitment of Veterinarians in this industry is the continuing demand for new drugs for companion animals, being driven in part by changing consumer trends consumers and overall improvement in socio-economic living standards.
