Step F Are public investments in animal health services (veterinary public health) and preventive services (public goods) required?
 
The liberalization and privatization of animal health delivery have left a gray zone and a need to clarify what is public good and what is private good in animal health services.
Many of the preventive measures (tools) are regarded public goods. This includes vaccinations against endemic diseases, regulatory issues on drugs and medicine, Veterinary Investigation Centres, quarantine measures, stock routes and to some extend tsetse fly and tick control. Considerations include establishment of disease free zones (NDDB 2004) including restrictions in stock movement.
