Poultry diseases are a major source of anxiety for many poultry farmers. Faced with this, some resort to self-diagnosis and improvised treatments with antibiotics, leading to antimicrobial resistance in the animals.

In response to this health emergency, an innovative idea has been developed in Senegal. CEVA and LAPROVET, with financial support from GALVmed, have set up the OneLab initiative to transform the way in which avian diseases are diagnosed and treated.

Thanks to rapid, reliable diagnostics and appropriate treatments, the OneLab initiative has revolutionised the poultry industry in Senegal, offering poultry farmers the chance to save money and improve their profitability.
