To protect human and animal health, the OCPV has monitoring and testing programs in place to prevent and control the spread of diseases to the livestock and poultry sectors. The OCPV carries out programs related to animal health and production and to prevent the spread of certain domestic animal diseases. Animal diseases are categorized as:

Reportable Diseases: Are those that are a serious threat to public health or animal health and can cause serious economic, political and social impacts to the livestock industry and/or the province. These diseases require action to control or eradicate.

Notifiable Diseases: Are diseases of concern that do not require action, but should be monitored to establish prevalence or trends.
