What Ausvet does
Ausvet is an independent Australian veterinary epidemiology consulting firm, founded circa 1996–1998, with operational headquarters in Fremantle (Western Australia) and regional offices in Jakarta and Ho Chi Minh City following the 2024 spin-off of its Lyon operations as Epimundi. The company applies epidemiology, biostatistics, information technology, and development expertise within a One Health framework to address animal, human, and plant health problems for government agriculture departments, livestock industry clients, and clinical veterinarians across more than 55 countries. Service lines include surveillance, research and modelling, data analysis, information systems, biosecurity and outbreak investigation, risk analysis, policy and programs, and training.
Its two principal technology assets are Epitools, a free, open-access web-based suite of epidemiological calculators (prevalence estimation, freedom-from-disease analysis, sample size, diagnostic test evaluation, herd sensitivity via HerdPlus, and Survey Toolbox), and iSIKHNAS, Indonesia's national animal health and production information system now operating in 95% of Indonesia's 514 districts and processing 60,000 daily data entries covering 18.7 million individually identified animals and 7.8 million participating smallholder farmers. Supporting tools include an Epitools mobile app and freely downloadable white papers.
The business model combines multi-year government and international development consulting contracts (Australian Department of Agriculture, Governments of Indonesia and Namibia, Millennium Challenge Fund) with industry partnerships (Meat and Livestock Australia on the Indonesia Biosecurity Support Project), supplemented by freemium distribution of Epitools and white-paper licensing. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed for consulting services, while Epitools is provided free to drive inbound awareness among the global veterinary epidemiology community. The company operates with 11–50 employees and is founder/management-owned with no identified external institutional investors.

Ausvet competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Ausvet Europe (Epimundi): Independent veterinary epidemiology consulting firm spun off from Ausvet's Lyon office in 2024. Directly comparable in offering (epidemiology consulting, study design, data analysis) and was historically part of the same organisation before the 2024 separation.
- Epi-Interactive: New Zealand-based specialist veterinary epidemiology consulting firm offering study design, data analysis, and disease surveillance services. Directly comparable to Ausvet in offering, customer base (veterinary researchers, government, and industry), and niche specialty.
Broad incumbents
- Zoetis: World's largest animal health company spanning pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, vaccines, and genetic testing. Comparable as a broad incumbent investing in animal health data, biosecurity, and livestock producer services that overlap with Ausvet's biosecurity and information systems work.
- IDEXX Laboratories: Global leader in veterinary diagnostics and software (PIMS, reference lab services). Comparable as a broader animal health incumbent with analytics and information system offerings that increasingly overlap with the disease surveillance and practice data segments Ausvet addresses.
- Elanco Animal Health: Global animal health company with companion animal and livestock therapeutics plus Precision Animal Health data analytics. Comparable as a broad incumbent investing in farm-level data and disease prevention programs that overlap with Ausvet's surveillance and biosecurity work.
- Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health: Global animal health business with vaccines, parasiticides, and disease monitoring programs. Comparable as a broad incumbent providing biosecurity, outbreak investigation, and species-specific disease programs that increasingly touch the epidemiology and surveillance services Ausvet delivers.
Others
- Palladium: International development consulting firm delivering donor-funded programs in health, agriculture, and economic growth. Comparable as a peer in the international development ecosystem that often competes for or partners on the same government-funded animal health and One Health assignments.
- CSIRO Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness: Australian government science agency conducting veterinary epidemiology, diagnostic, and biosecurity research. Comparable as a publicly funded counterpart with overlapping scientific expertise and frequent collaboration on Australian animal health preparedness projects.
- DT Global: Australia-based international development consulting firm working with government donors on agriculture, governance, and health programs. Comparable in business model (government contracting, international development funding) and overlapping with Ausvet's delivery of funded One Health and biosecurity projects in emerging markets.
Regional players
- Royal GD: Dutch animal health organisation providing diagnostics, epidemiological surveillance, and consulting across livestock and companion animals. Comparable in offering animal health information systems and disease surveillance expertise, though serving primarily European markets.
