Revenue model

1. Membership subscriptions and service fees: Farmers pay cotisations (subscriptions) to access Arsia+ services and reduced-cost diagnostic and health monitoring programs. Fees fund the organization's operations as a non-profit association managed by farmers.
2. Government subsidies and conventions: ARSIA operates under formal conventions with the Federal Government (SPF Santé publique, AFSCA) and the Walloon Region, which provide subsidy funding in exchange for public health missions including disease surveillance, laboratory diagnostics, and livestock traceability.
3. Diagnostic and laboratory services: The organization performs laboratory analyses (PCR, serology, pathology, bacteriology) and autopsy services, with fees partially subsidized through the Sanitary Fund (Fonds Sanitaire) for enrolled livestock sectors.
4. Sanitary Fund (Fonds Sanitaire) contributions: Sector-specific mandatory contributions collected by SPF Santé publique from livestock operators (bovine, porcine, poultry, ovine-caprine-cervid sectors) based on herd size and animal counts, administered through ARSIA for health programs.

Core offering

ARSIA asbl is the designated livestock traceability and animal health organization for Wallonia, Belgium. It provides the CERISE digital platform (web + mobile) integrated with the national Sanitel database for tracking cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, goats, deer, and camelids, complemented by veterinary laboratory diagnostics (PCR, serology, pathology, bacteriology), disease control plans (IBR, BVD, paratuberculosis), autovaccine production, parasite monitoring subscriptions, and field veterinary support to livestock breeders.

Product overview

ARSIA asbl operates a comprehensive livestock health and traceability management ecosystem centered on CERISE, a multi-species platform managing identification, registration, and movement declarations for bovine, porcine, ovine/caprine/cervid (OCC), poultry, rabbit, and cervid/camelid species. The offering combines the core CERISE web and mobile applications with specialized diagnostic services (autovaccines, autopsy kits, metabolic scanning), subscription monitoring programs (Arsia+ with parasite monitoring, disease control plans), and supplementary tools including BIGAME for livestock management, ScorWelCow for animal welfare assessment, and various farm support services. The platform connects to the national Sanitel system and enables real-time traceability through Cerise Mobile and CeriseWeb, with newer additions like Bovimove for cattle transport tracking.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• AFSCA (Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain / Federaal Agentschap voor de Veiligheid van de Voedselketen)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerAFSCA is the Belgian federal regulatory authority for food chain safety. ARSIA operates under a formal convention with AFSCA delivering mandated public health missions including disease surveillance, laboratory diagnostics, and Sanitel livestock tracking. AFSCA funds ARSIA's activities through this convention and monitors compliance. Joint initiatives include biosecurity audits for poultry farms, IBR control programs, and mandatory disease notification systems.
• Region Wallonne (Walloon Region)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerThe Walloon Region has a formal Framework Convention (Convention Cadre) with ARSIA supporting veterinary diagnosis and prevention services. This convention co-funds key services including autopsies, abortion protocols, diagnostic kits, disease control plans, and antimicrobial resistance awareness. The convention was set to expire in December 2024 with renewal expected.
• SPF Santé publique (Federal Public Service Health, Food Chain Safety and Environment)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerSPF Santé publique manages the Sanitary Fund (Fonds Sanitaire) and collects mandatory sector contributions from livestock operators in Belgium. It works with ARSIA to administer health campaigns and disease control programs, including the 2026 contribution collection cycle for Ovins-Caprins-Cervidés, Volailles, Bovins, and Porcins sectors.

Broad incumbents

• Virbac: Global animal health pharmaceutical and diagnostics company with a strong presence in livestock vaccines, including autovaccines and herd health programs. Comparable on autovaccine production and livestock disease control offerings, though operating commercially across many geographies.
• Zoetis: Largest global animal health company with broad livestock pharmaceutical, vaccine, diagnostic, and traceability offerings. Comparable on the disease control program and autovaccine dimensions, but as a diversified commercial player rather than a regional, mandate-driven organization.
• MSD Animal Health (including Allflex Livestock Intelligence): Global animal health division of Merck operating both pharmaceutical products and electronic livestock identification/traceability (via Allflex). Comparable on the identification, traceability, and herd monitoring dimensions, but as part of a much broader commercial portfolio rather than a non-profit regional mandate.

Direct peers

• DGZ (Dierengezondheidszorg Vlaanderen): Flemish counterpart managing Sanitel registration, herd health programs, and laboratory diagnostics for livestock breeders in Flanders. Operates an analogous non-profit, government-convention-funded model with overlapping digital platform functionality (including the joint poultry transport app), making it the closest comparable to ARSIA.
• GD Animal Health (Royal GD): Dutch animal health organization providing livestock disease monitoring, diagnostic laboratory services, and herd health programs for the Netherlands. Closely comparable mandate to ARSIA — animal health surveillance and diagnostics delivered through a coordinated, sector-supported governance model.
• GDS France (FRGDS): Federation of French regional livestock health defense groups (Groupements de Défense Sanitaire) managing cattle health programs, traceability, and disease surveillance for French breeders. Comparable role in coordinating farmer-led, government-aligned livestock health services at regional scale.

Others

• Eliance: French livestock umbrella organization coordinating inter-professional actions across cattle, sheep, goat, and equine sectors, including health, identification, and traceability. Overlaps with ARSIA in coordinating multi-species livestock services on behalf of farmer communities at regional/national scale.
• IDEXX Laboratories: Global veterinary diagnostics company offering PCR, serology, and laboratory platforms across livestock and companion animals. Overlaps with ARSIA's in-house diagnostic capabilities (PCR, pathology, serology, bacteriology) and Biobank sample workflow, though operating as a commercial technology vendor.

Regional players

• AHDB (Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board): UK statutory levy board supporting livestock and crop sectors with knowledge exchange, market data, and disease management programs. Comparable in delivering farmer-funded, government-aligned sector services, though operating at national rather than sub-national scope and without direct Sanitel-like mandate.
• Tiergesundheitsdienst Bayern (TGD Bayern): Bavarian state-level animal health service providing herd health monitoring, diagnostic coordination, and disease control programs for German livestock farmers. Comparable in operating a regional, state-mandated model for livestock health service delivery, though serving a different national jurisdiction.
