Horses are often used in the production of biologics and therapeutics to treat or prevent various conditions in humans and other animals. The welfare of all animals under human care should have the highest priority. For that reason, the WVA calls for updated and transparent management of the overall field, in which ethical and welfare concerns for donor horses and recipient animals are considered, and the welfare of horses involved in the industry is ensured at an adequate level according to published recommendations.
