Veterinarians & animal scientists
Your activities

What you do

  • Deliver veterinary care, vaccinations and treatments on farms
  • Monitor the health of cattle, poultry, pigs and fish-farming operations
  • Advise on husbandry: feeding, breeding, housing and biosecurity
  • Train livestock keepers and groups in good practices and disease prevention
  • Issue the health documents required for animal movements and sales
Your role in the value chain

You receive calls from livestock keepers, poultry farms, pig units, fish farmers and slaughterhouses and deliver diagnoses, care and recommendations. You are the intermediary between feed and veterinary-product manufacturers, laboratories and the farmer. You secure herd health, the wholesomeness of animal products and compliance with the sanitary requirements of the markets. You unlock access for livestock products to approved slaughterhouses, processing units and regional markets that demand animals with a documented health record.

Where are you found?

Veterinarians and animal scientists practise in the main livestock areas: the Adamawa plateaux around Ngaoundéré, the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Garoua and Maroua for cattle and small ruminants, the Western and North-West Highlands for poultry and pigs, the peri-urban belts of Yaoundé and Douala, and the fish-farming areas of the Littoral and Centre.

Your place in the ecosystem

Why your business matters in Cameroon and Central Africa

Livestock plays a central role in Cameroon’s rural economy, from the pastoralism of Adamawa and the North to the peri-urban poultry and pig farming of the West, Centre and Littoral. Veterinarians and animal scientists are its sanitary guarantee: they contain disease outbreaks, improve herd productivity and ensure the safety of the meat, milk and eggs consumed in the cities. They condition the access of animal products to CEMAC regional markets, where sanitary requirements are tightening. Their presence is also decisive for the development of aquaculture and for reducing dependence on imported animal protein.
