Animal Health Australia sponsored and attended the International Sheep Veterinary Congress (ISVC) 2025, held on 27-30 October in Wollongong.
Organised by the Australian Veterinary Association, the event marked 28 years since Australia last hosted the congress.
Over 350 veterinarians, researchers, industry professionals, and enthusiasts from around the world gathered under the theme ‘Healthy Sheep to Feed and Clothe the World.’
Key insights from the congress
Over the course of the week, participants heard about cutting-edge research addressing the most pressing challenges in global sheep health. Key topics included:

- antimicrobial resistance
- animal welfare
- flystrike.
Each session concluded with meaningful discussions that focused on strengthening resilience across sheep industries amid changing global pressures.
AHA in action
AHA presented an update on the National Sheep Health Monitoring Project (NSHMP). This ongoing abattoir surveillance program supports productivity across the sheep value chain by providing producers with actionable feedback on their flock health.
Together with WoolProducers Australia and Sheep Producers Australia, AHA also supported an industry panel of producers and veterinary consultants. This showcased the critical role of vets in delivering tailored, expert advice on disease management, nutrition and flock health to support producers and their sheep or wool enterprises.
