Core reference institutions
Animaliversal uses primary and specialist references as starting points, then writes original plain-language guidance. Useful global authorities include:
- World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) — animal health, welfare and international standards.
- Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Animal Health — livestock health and production resources.
- MSD Veterinary Manual — professional veterinary reference.
- CDC Healthy Pets, Healthy People — zoonotic disease and responsible contact information.
- IUCN Red List — species conservation assessments.
Local verification is mandatory
Feed ingredients, diseases, vaccines, medicines, withdrawal periods, permits, climate and markets differ. A global webpage cannot replace a local veterinarian, extension officer, regulator or current supplier quotation.
Corrections
Material claims should be checked against their context and revision date. Animaliversal corrects errors without hiding substantive changes.
