AI Is Taking Over Vet Med—And BMC Wants Your Research
Artificial intelligence isn’t just transforming human healthcare—it’s shaking up veterinary medicine too. From supercharged diagnostics to smart practice management, AI is becoming a game-changer for animal care. And now, BMC Veterinary Research is putting out the call for researchers to help define what comes next.

FDA New Strategy To Replace Animal Testing: The Future of Drug Development is Human-Centered and Tech-Driven
In a groundbreaking move towards more ethical and efficient drug development, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a significant shift away from animal testing in the creation of monoclonal antibody therapies and other medications. This bold strategy promises to revolutionize how drugs are developed, evaluated, and brought to market, marking a new era where human-relevant methods take the lead.

AI Breakthrough Lets Horses 'Talk' to Vets: The Revolutionary System Detects Hidden Health Issues
Researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) to bridge the communication gap between horses and humans. By combining 3D motion capture technology with machine learning, a new modeling system offers veterinarians a powerful visual tool for interpreting equine body language—a key to detecting both physical and behavioral problems.

Mind-Blowing breakthrough: Can we predict dogs heart failure with machine learning?
Heart disease in dogs, particularly myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD), can pose a significant challenge when it comes to assessing the risk of heart failure. However, a recent study has harnessed the capabilities of machine learning and electronic health records (EHRs) to address this issue
AI software can provide ‘roadmap’ for biological discoveries
Predicting a protein’s location within a cell can help researchers unlock a plethora of biological information that’s critical for developing future scientific discoveries related to drug development and treating diseases like epilepsy. That’s because proteins are the body’s “workhorses,” largely responsible for most cellular functions.
