A few days ago, we proudly hosted the VIVACE project meeting at our headquarters.

VIVACE is an EU-funded Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action Doctoral Network dedicated to advancing poultry vaccination against avian influenza viruses (AIVs) across Europe. This innovative project is training a new generation of scientists to address the complex challenges and opportunities associated with AIV vaccination.

The project focuses on three key areas:
- Viral Evolution: Understanding how vaccination affects virus evolution and pandemic risks
- Transmission and Management: Improving surveillance tools and vaccination strategies to reduce disease spread
- Socioeconomic Impacts: Assessing the effects of vaccination on epidemiology, the economy, animal welfare, and the environment

With a consortium of 20 leading universities, research centers, and companies across Europe and beyond, coordinated by INRAE (France), VIVACE drives cutting-edge research and collaborative innovation in poultry health.

The programme combined a scientific communication workshop, the project’s Mid-Term Check with the European Commission, and expert lectures on avian influenza vaccination and diagnostics. We were honored to host this important meeting and training, reinforcing Ceva’s commitment to scientific collaboration and the advancement of animal health.

🇧🇫 Ten years ago, a simple conversation planted the seed of what would become one of the most meaningful projects in Ceva's history: Poulet du Faso 🐓

Today, we are proud to celebrate a decade of this remarkable project alongside the partners who made it possible, working to improve poultry farming in Burkina Faso without displacing the local knowledge, breeds, and communities that sustain it.

Through collaboration and by crossing the resilient local “bicycle chicken” with Landes hens from Sasso poultry, a Hendrix Genetics company, the project created a bird adapted to its environment, not imposed on it.

What followed over ten years is a testament to what collective ambition can achieve. Approximately ten million vaccinated chicks have been distributed, and five hatcheries are now operational.

The model is financially self-sustaining, and the income generated by participating farmers is three times the initial investment.

This success belongs to many:
To Yaya Ba, whose leadership on the ground turned vision into daily reality.
To Louis Perrault, Thijs Hendrix, and Alfred De Vries, whose commitment from the Sasso and Hendrix Genetics side never wavered.
To the Boussé Cooperative and the Gates Foundation, whose trust made the long-term view possible.

And above all, to the farmers themselves, including the women whose economic independence has grown alongside the project, and the young people who found employment within it.

If the Poulet du Faso project has taught us anything, it is this: sustainable models are built with communities, not for them.

🐄 We are proud to launch 𝗕𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿, a science-based app designed to help veterinarians and farmers detect, assess, and address cattle pain with confidence, directly in the field.

Detecting pain in cattle can be complex, as signs are often subtle and difficult to interpret. Early and accurate pain detection is essential for improving recovery, welfare, and herd management.

That is why we developed BoviSensor with Oniris vetagrobio Nantes, the National Veterinary School of Nantes, and expert veterinarians, to translate cutting-edge research into an intuitive app.

With this new tool, farmers and veterinarians can monitor behavior-based pain, either non-specific or specific, access objective pain scoring, receive expert-based treatment recommendations, and easily export reports for enhanced follow-up and collaboration.

By going beyond traditional one pathology-focused tools (eg lameness). BoviSensor offers condition-specific evaluation grids tailored for both adult and young cattle, enabling faster, better-informed decisions right on the farm.

This innovation clearly demonstrates Ceva’s ongoing commitment to animal welfare.

📲 This app is now available on Android and iOS in English and French. Registration is currently open in Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and the UK, with more countries coming soon.

🌍 70% of emerging infectious diseases in humans originate from animals.

This reality reinforces a clear conviction: protecting animal health is essential to protecting human health.

At Ceva, the approach guides our actions every day. Prevention is at the heart of our strategy, with vaccines and preventive health solutions now accounting for more than half of our portfolio.

This commitment enables us to:
💉 Reduce the risk of zoonotic disease transmission
🛡️ Support the fight against antimicrobial resistance by limiting unnecessary antibiotic use
🥛 Contribute to more sustainable and secure production of animal protein

Beyond innovation, progress depends on collaboration. We work closely with veterinarians, researchers, and international partners to better understand, prevent, and control zoonotic diseases (zoonoses) and to develop responsible health solutions that benefit animals, people, and the environment.

🐶 At Ceva, we believe pets can help create a calmer, happier workplace.

Through our initiative, we have launched an innovative program to support workplace wellbeing by recognizing the human–animal bond with a approach.

With up to 29% of employees* in the EU experiencing work-related stress, depression, or anxiety, organizations are seeking practical ways to foster calmer, more supportive environments. Evidence also highlights the positive impact pets can have at work: 67% of employees report lower stress levels when pets are present, and 63% say pets help strengthen relationships between colleagues.

At Ceva, allows dogs in the workplace under carefully managed conditions. The program is already showing tangible benefits, including reduced stress, stronger collegial bonds, and a more enjoyable workplace atmosphere.

is already in place in several Ceva sales offices in Italy, Germany, and the United Kingdom. With PULSE – Ceva’s headquarters – we are taking a new step by introducing the initiative at the core of the company as part of a long-term approach aligned with our values.
