Based on the French experience of animal health defence groups (groupements de défense sanitaire), the author highlights the importance, for both Veterinary Services and livestock producers, of livestock producer health organisations acting as partners of the Veterinary Services to complement the actions of private veterinarians. Charged with the task of providing livestock producers with information and raising awareness of the health regulations, these organisations offer key support to Veterinary Services in carrying out regulatory prophylactic measures, monitoring their execution, supplementing public compensation measures, and even being delegated to manage all or part of such prophylactic measures. By designing and implementing plans, with the support of private veterinarians, to combat or control epizootics which have an economic or trade impact, and by participating in or carrying out animal identification and offering health and environmental services, these organisations help to improve herd health and support the livestock producing industry. Growing demand, from both European Union applicant members and countries to the south, shows that although the French experience is not transposable, it can serve as a useful example.
基于法国动物健康防御组织（卫生防御团体）的经验，作者强调了畜牧生产者健康组织作为兽医服务部门的合作伙伴，对兽医服务部门和畜牧生产者的重要性，以补充私人兽医的工作。这些组织负责向畜牧生产者提供信息并提高他们对健康法规的认识，在实施监管预防措施、监督执行情况、补充公共补偿措施，甚至被委托管理全部或部分此类预防措施方面，为兽医服务部门提供关键支持。通过在私人兽医的支持下设计和实施计划，以抗击或控制具有经济或贸易影响的动物流行病，并通过参与或开展动物标识以及提供健康和环境服务，这些组织有助于改善畜群健康状况并支持畜牧生产行业。来自欧盟申请成员国和南方国家日益增长的需求表明，尽管法国的经验不可照搬，但它可以作为一个有用的范例。
