In 2021, the U.S. animal health industry generated 13.8 billion U.S. dollars in economic output. The animal health industry produces products such as medicines and vaccines for food and companion animals, which are in-turn crucial for other animal-related industries such as the meat and dairy manufacturing, animal production, veterinary services, and pet services industries. Therefore, the animal health industry also has an indirect impact on the U.S. economy adding up to 594.3 billion U.S. dollars in 2021
