The Animal Health Unit based out of the Yukon was founded in 2010. It investigates issues in both domestic and non-domestic animals. Investigations can involve a wide variety of species including amphibians/reptiles, cattle, companion animals, birds, bison, fin and shellfish, horses, honeybees, small ruminants and swine. Investigation topics under mandate include animal welfare, contaminants/hazards, emerging diseases, food safety, governance, invasive species, regulated, and zoonotic diseases. Investigations are launched when an issue is brought forward by a veterinarian, animal owner, laboratory or regional agency.
