Serving Africa and the World

Onderstepoort Biological Products (OBP) was born out of catastrophe.

The rinderpest cattle pandemic, which more than 100 years ago devastated a young nation's economy was the worst animal disease disaster the country has known - before or since.

That rinderpest has never returned is a tribute to the work of South African veterinary scientists and workers of another age.

Today, their successors have other damaging or potentially lethal diseases to conquer as OBP takes its place as a scientific path-finder in its mission to serve Africa - and the world.
