Pets adoption has increased, as well as the awareness of taking good care of their health needs and, in general, their comprehensive health. In fact, two market segments by type of animal are: livestock and pets. In both cases, veterinary clinics and hospitals require optimal and careful deliveries from pharmaceutical companies. When dealing with health products, inventory, management, and control must always be monitored and updated. Animal nutrition, a growing market Considering the global context of the veterinary industry, particularly in Latin America, the livestock industry is remarkable and presents a growing demand, so there is a strong expectation of expansion in biological and pharmaceutical products for these animals. As well, the diversity of products and needed supplies has increased.  *Latin America and the Caribbean now account for 44% of global beef exports and 42%* *of chicken exports. In countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Paraguay and* *Uruguay, the livestock industry plays a key role in their economies. * *The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that world the demand for* *meat will increase by 14% over the next decade.* Source: El Economista.com 2022 Moreover, the pandemic influenced more people to acquire pets, and this has also affected the logistics sector. The raising awareness among people towards the safe consumption of products for animals, and animal welfare, has increased the demand for veterinary medicines. Pet hospitals and veterinary clinics have now increased their partnership with pharmaceutical companies that supply medicines for all kinds of pets such as birds, dogs, cats, livestock, and other species. When dealing with health products, the transport and warehousing need special attention.  That is why logistics chains must be controlled and monitored, with perfect traceability between warehouses from origin to destinations, eliminating inefficiencies, bottlenecks, task overlapping, waste and operations that add no value at all. Furthermore, logistics operators in this field must comply with special regulations, which require technological innovation and high-quality standards within the warehouse, distribution, and transportation processes, for meeting, depending on the nature of the products, the biosafety standards established by the competent bodies in each country. The warehousing, transfer, and distribution of veterinary medicines As in the pharmaceutical industry, when it comes to health and animal care, transporting and warehousing agriculture or veterinary supplies and products requires special measures, which generally imply specific certifications and a high degree of logistical expertise of the operators, even more in the case of veterinary products containing substances considered hazardous. There are specific requirements for all the processes involved, both for warehousing and for loading, transport, and delivery. Among the most relevant requirements are temperature measurement and warehouse surfaces, which must be certified by a regulatory body, be suitable for the supplies conditioning and easy to clean, among other conditions. The position of the medicines on the shelves and the location of the shelves themselves also play an important role. It is important to precisely know the identification label of the products and their quality grade or seals, the inventory, and even air extraction and filtration systems to prevent contaminated air from being released into the environment.  In the case of medicines, the segmentation by route of administration is considered: oral, parenteral, and topical. Basic requirements for the veterinary industry logistics At this level of logistic handling, the 4 main steps below must present a comprehensive system of measurements and records on the quality and condition of supplies and products:  1. Warehousing All veterinary products must be correctly warehoused, according to the label instructions. Factors such as temperature, exposure to light or humidity must be considered.  The warehousing, transport and conservation conditions must be adjusted according to what is mentioned in the packing, as well as being kept in secure facilities. 2. Cargo to be transporte This process requires previous quantitative and qualitative products controls, which include technical, labeling and classification aspects. Next, proper warehouse entry forms are registered. 3. Mobilization  In this market, closed body trucks must be used to transport goods, and it must be considered and established the position in which products will be unloaded. Yet, defining the optimal route so that the travel time is as short as possible is also important. 4. Unloading  Transport operators must clearly understand the products they are handling with and ensure that the packing and wrapping provide adequate protection. When unloading, the quantity and quality of the delivery must be checked against the inventory, and this must be documented. At Solistica, we have technology to anticipate demand and offer traceability of products for the veterinary sector. Thus, we allow customers to visualize the entire order cycle. In addition to tracking deliveries, there is also a feature for reports generation and operational management indicators visualization. We work with our own management systems, fully customizable and adaptable to the clients systems. Similarly, focused on traceability, we have developed an application for our partner drivers to use during the transport of animal health and nutrition products. The information provided by the app is synchronized with a system available to the customer, allowing a real-time follow-up of the delivery. It is clear that from now on, the growing veterinary industry will continue to face challenges to meet the demands of the sector, counting on highly qualified personnel, good practices, and logistics systems that fulfill the new trends and competences demanded by consumers, and yet incorporating the vision of an integral health care process. ### Share [![Share on facebook](https://blog.solistica.com/hs-fs/hubfs/facebook-color.png?width=32&name=facebook-color.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://blog.solistica.com/en/veterinary-industry-and-logistics-today&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook) [![Share on linkedin](https://blog.solistica.com/hs-fs/hubfs/linkedin-color.png?width=32&name=linkedin-color.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.solistica.com/en/veterinary-industry-and-logistics-today&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkedin) [![Share on twitter](https://blog.solistica.com/hs-fs/hubfs/twitter-color.png?width=32&name=twitter-color.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https://blog.solistica.com/en/veterinary-industry-and-logistics-today&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&url=https://blog.solistica.com/en/veterinary-industry-and-logistics-today&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&source=tweetbutton&text=) [![Share on email](https://blog.solistica.com/hs-fs/hubfs/email-color.png?width=32&name=email-color.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https://blog.solistica.com/en/veterinary-industry-and-logistics-today&utm_medium=social&utm_source=email%20&body=Check%20out%20https://blog.solistica.com/en/veterinary-industry-and-logistics-today&utm_medium=social&utm_source=email) [See all articles](https://blog.solistica.com/en) ### Sign up here!
