The author discusses a study presented at the May 2011 World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) assembly in Paris, France, about how a shortage of veterinarians in many countries is hindering development and putting global food security at risk. Many of the participating countries reported having insufficient numbers of public and private veterinarians involved in food production. The study also found that veterinary services' resources are mainly devoted to slaughter inspection services.
