Advanced Vaccines are More Effective to Create Long-Lasting Immune Response Among Cattle and Sheep
Cattle and sheep vaccines are used to prevent the animals from diseases such as Foot and mouth disease (FMD), Bluetongue virus, Lumpy Skin Disease (LMD), Trichomoniasis, Brucellosis, etc. The FMD is a severe, highly transmissible disease in cattle and sheep that has a significant economic impact. These economic impacts not only cause losses in animal productivity but can also drive up the cost of both treatment and vaccination programs. In 2024, a team of Indian scientists made significant progress in understanding the genetic makeup of the virus responsible for lumpy skin disease that led to the deaths of approximately 1 million cattle since May 2022. Advancements in biotechnology and new vaccine technologies make cattle and sheep vaccines more effective whereas, improved vaccine formulation, adjuvant and delivery methods result in improvement of vaccine efficacy.
Cattle and sheep are the major sources of primary as well as secondary food products used by humans in their day-to-day life. As a result, ensuring the health of cattle and sheep has become a top priority, fostering farmers to adopt advanced practices for long-term health and productivity. The competitive conflict is expected to rise, as companies continue to introduce advanced vaccines and expand their distribution network to tap into new streams. Concerns about food security are growing because of variations in food choices brought on by changing lifestyle, as a result need of cattle and sheep vaccines are increasing. These elements bring more opportunities for companies to come up with advancement to market expansion.
To Exhibit More Efficacious Results Against Transmissive Disease in Cattle and Sheep, Companies are Attributing Extensive R&D Initiatives
According to NCBI (National Centre of Biotechnology Information), the morality rate is 5% in adult animals and the morbidity rate of FMD reaches up to 100%. Hence, this is the cause for serious production losses expressed in low milk production and weight loss due to loss of appetite. The growing demand for animal protein, expansion of livestock production and rising awareness of preventive healthcare bring opportunities for the cattle and sheep vaccines market. The high demand for bovine vaccines is driven by the need to protect the cattle and sheep from life-threatening diseases and to maintain the health of this significant livestock population. The increased adoption of cattle and sheep vaccination programs drives the growth of cattle and sheep vaccine market.
New vaccine manufacturing methods have evolved because of developments in technology and medicine, broad knowledge of immunology, biochemistry, molecular biology among other basic science disciplines, this may help vaccine manufacturers to understand the disease and develop new adjuvants for prevention of diseases. Genetic engineering, proteomics and other technologies have aided in implementing novel vaccine theories, resulting in the discovery of new cattle and sheep vaccines and the improvement of the existing ones. The next generation of vaccines such as subunit vaccines, DNA vaccines, recombinant vaccines and vector vaccines are increasingly gaining scientific and public attention and are being seen as viable replacement to conventional vaccines. Another opportunity to drive cattle and sheep market growth is a collaboration between vaccine manufacturers and research institutes for the development of innovative vaccines.
Recent Trends in the Cattle and Sheep Vaccine Industry
- The Demand for animal protein is projected to continue to grow.
- Sustainable livestock production practices aim to meet the needs of rising animals for food while minimizing negative environmental impacts.
- Awareness of preventive healthcare grows economies and improve health of cattle and sheep.
- Significant advancement in traditional vaccines such as recombinant, vector and irradiated vaccines.

Lack of Adoption of Vaccination by Smallholder Farmer’s may Hamper the Growth of Cattle & Sheep Vaccine Market
Rising of Lumpy skin disease in cattle is the main reason behind slower growth of milk production, animal disease threatens the lives of millions of livestock on a daily basis. Stringent regulations related to vaccine approvals, animal welfare and limited awareness about the benefits of vaccination among cattle and sheep farmers in some regions is a major restrain for market growth. Whereas, the other restrain is a complex approval process and extensive testing requirements which pose a challenge for vaccine manufacturers, leading to delays in product launches. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s Centre for Veterinary Board (CVB) oversees the regulation of veterinary vaccinations in the United States. Animal health companies are granted product and establishment licences by CVB in order to produce and market veterinary biologics, this may contribute to the growth of cattle and sheep vaccines. Manufacturers can capitalize on the growing demand for advanced vaccines to address evolving threats.
As per NCBI in Nov 2023, in dairy farms with a high percentage of infected cows (more than 20%) the economic loss was estimated at US$ 5500. Such economic losses may hamper the growth of the market. Use of vaccination methods and technological platforms for the cattle and sheep may provide some useful insights. Adoption of vaccination is the only way for healthy cattle and sheep; due to vaccination many diseases can be cured, but the cattle and sheep vaccine market is likely to be hampered by lack of adoption of vaccination by smallholder farmers. For instance, to increase vaccine adoption rates by smallholder farmer education and outreach efforts are needed.
Increasing Transmissive Disease in Cattle and Sheep will Demand Advanced Vaccines in the Market
Continuous R&D investments and initiatives by key players is driving the market growth. For example, In 2024 Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) Pharmaceuticals, Inc had launched its adjuvanted first bluetongue virus serotype-3 vaccine. BI, in partnership with Bioveta, a veterinary manufacturer with a concentration on vaccinations, developed the vaccination and it was intended to be made available in Bluetongue Virus (BTV)-3 affected countries beginning May 2024. LSU (Louisiana State University) researchers had developed a new cost-effective vaccine on Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) and related illness. This vaccination would prevent cattle and sheep from clinical signs and mortality. The presence of key players such as Virbac, Pfizer INC., and Bayer AG is expected to drive market growth. Similarly, Government’s growing initiatives to promote vaccination for cattle and livestock in Asia Pacific is expected to make more profits. Government support, regulatory frameworks and public-private partnerships play a critical role in vaccine development, efficacy & distribution to cattle and sheep vaccine producers worldwide. Global core cattle vaccine manufacturers include Merck Animal Health Zoetis, etc. these top 2 companies hold a large share.
