GDS du Puy de Dôme

What GDS du Puy de Dôme does

GDS du Puy de Dôme (also operating as GDS63) is a French agricultural association (SIRET 38410302400012) headquartered at 136 Avenue de Cournon in Aubière, delivering sanitary defense and animal health management services to livestock farmers across the Puy-de-Dôme department. Its portfolio covers FCO (Bluetongue) vaccination coordination — including 813,191 free FCO-1 doses distributed under a June 2, 2026 Official Journal order and €0.75-per-sheep aid for FCO-3 and FCO-8 vaccination via the ovine mutual aid fund — as well as disease surveillance alerts on foot-and-mouth disease, African swine fever, and bluetongue, infectious healthcare waste (DASRI) collection, and IPI-free cattle herd verification. Digital touchpoints include the gds63.com website, the WebGDS member portal, the 'Bovins non IPI' diagnostic page hosted on Okteo, and the Sanicast YouTube channel for video outreach.

The organization operates under the official mandate of the French Ministry of Agriculture and works through a tightly defined ecosystem: the April 21, 2026 'Ambition Élevage' charter with the Chambre d'agriculture du Puy-de-Dôme and EDE formalizes a tripartite advisory monopoly, supplemented by working ties with Plateforme ESA, SNGTV, Coopération Agricole Pôle Animal, and Farago63. Revenue mechanics are largely non-commercial: vaccination programs are state-funded, waste collection fees and member contributions support ongoing operations, and the 7-person staff is paired with a director (François Peyroux) and webmaster (Amélie Vandaele). Go-to-market is direct-to-farmer inside the single department, with no indication of geographic expansion, paid acquisition, or AI/ML-driven product surface.
