If we treat the animals against parasites, control dog numbers, discourage aggression and address environmental factors, we see improvements in the overall health of indigenous communities.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\nIt is with this vision that AMRRIC has partnered with Bayer Animal Health to promote the work of the organisation. \u201cWe are genuinely enthusiastic about our partnership as it comes from a true commitment to animal health and the bond that people share with their companion animals,\u201d Donelan said.<\/span>\r\n\r\nBayer Animal Health, manufacturer of Drontal Allwormer, has committed to helping AMRRIC build a corporate profile, develop and implement a communications and marketing strategy and assist in fundraising programs. <\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cWe are excited to partner with AMRRIC as we share the same beliefs and commitments to animal, human and environmental health,\u201d Leandro Posteraro of Bayer Animal Health said. <\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cThe close relationship between companion animals and people is growing in Australia, and we strive to keep these relationships healthy. By ensuring the health of animals and environment, we aim to protect people from the transmission of diseases and parasites,\u201d he said.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cWe understand that the link between human, animal and environmental health is paramount in Indigenous communities and look forward to helping AMRRIC improve the condition of animal management in remote and rural communities around the country.\u201d <\/span>\r\n\r\nEntering this new phase, Donelan is \u201cexcited about the future of AMRRIC and hopeful of the difference we can make in the health of animals, people and environments in indigenous communities.\u201d<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
