Our Competitive Advantage:
Veterinary Health Research enjoys a competitive advantage in providing high quality animal health research due to the following factors;
- Skills - An Australian location provides ready access to world standard animal health personnel and expertise;
- Climate - A wide variety of climatic zones and production systems;
- Production systems - are technically aligned with those in Europe and North America thus research findings in Australia can be readily applied elsewhere;
- Seasons - Utilising the contra-seasonal conditions in the southern hemisphere means that research studies can be run year round resulting in more rapid development of products;
- Cost - Australia’s efficient and low cost production systems enable significant savings in animal purchasing, housing and management relative to running studies in North America and Europe;
- Exchange Rates - Favourable rates make Australia an economically attractive base for studies;
- Disease Free Status - Freedom from disease means research in Australia is unaffected by costs and restrictions which apply as a result of disease in other parts of the world;
- Communication - Geographic isolation of Australia has ceased to be an issue with the advent of modern electronic communication;
- Regulatory Environment - Australia has a favourable regulatory environment and compliance costs associated with running research studies are low.
