Emerging Company Presentations
-
At the 2025 Animal Health Summit, attendees will get a glimpse of cutting-edge technologies shaping the future of animal care. Presentations will include a mobile-enabled herd and registry management platform, a diagnostic tool analyzing waste streams to detect pathogens, and metabolic therapies targeting obesity in horses and dogs. Other innovations include a novel feline cancer treatment, an AI copilot designed to ease veterinary administrative burdens, and a patented feed efficiency test to improve livestock genetics. There will also be a veterinary pharmaceutical derived from cannabis for pain relief, a next-generation canine leptospirosis vaccine, and an interactive smart harness for managing pet separation anxiety. Diagnostic advances will be showcased through multiplex saliva testing and a home-use biosensor for monitoring dog health. Attendees can also expect a modernized platform for dental and anesthetic procedure tracking, a non-surgical treatment for airway obstruction in flat-faced dog breeds, and a long-acting formulation to manage estrus in cattle. This diverse lineup highlights the Summit's focus on innovation across companion and production animal health.
