Elanco focuses on animal health through innovation and provides products and services to prevent and treat diseases in livestock and pets, creating value for farmers, pet owners, veterinarians, stakeholders and society as a whole. One of Elanco's closest agenda is a workshop in the field of veterinary parasitology at the ASEAN level which will be held at the end of May 2023.

This workshop activity raised the theme related to companion animal parasitology, water-borne diseases, and clinical practice learning. Workshop materials discussed simple faecal flotation, centrifugal sedimentation, thin blood smears, and wet blood mounts. Workshop activities will later be interspersed with discussions on control and future prevention related to parasites in cats and dogs.

The workshop activities will later invite veterinarians in the ASEAN region to come to Bali who will later conduct a visitation to FVM UNUD. The workshop is planned to be held at the Laboratory of Parasitology FVM UNUD. So that later the Lecturers and Students of FVM UNUD can follow it. It is hoped that with this workshop activity the FVM UNUD community will have experience at international level workshops. Apart from being a place for training for prospective veterinarians, FVM UNUD is committed to increasing the professionalism of teaching staff, educational staff, and of course prospective veterinary students from all aspects that support mutual progress. "We are ready to cooperate with anyone, as long as the cooperation is mutually beneficial for both parties." said the Dean.

With this visit, it is hoped that there will be good cooperation between the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Udayana University and Elanco, so that in the future it can generate benefits for both parties in the world of veterinary medicine.
