A Future in Animal Health: Industry Overview

Karthik Ramachandran, Ph.D
Vice President and Co-Founder of Likarda

Abstract: The multibillion dollar animal health industry continues to grow as companion animals become a large part of the family dynamic. Furthermore, as global demand for protein-based food rises with increasing populations, animal health plays an increasingly important role in protecting our global food supplies. The Kansas City Region is at the heart of the animal health industry and companies located in the region shape this industry. We’ll explore an overview of the industry including opportunities, trends, and new innovations as this industry grows to meet demands.
