An Animal Health Certificate is an official document that verifies the health status of an animal. It is often required for the movement of animals across borders or for participation in events. The certificate is issued by a qualified veterinarian and includes information about the animal's vaccinations, diseases, and overall health. This certificate ensures that animals are free from contagious diseases and meet the health standards set by authorities. It is essential for protecting both animal and public health, as it helps prevent the spread of diseases like Avian Influenza or Foot and Mouth Disease.
