Onderstepoort Biological Products (OBP) has a long history of providing animal vaccines, not only for South Africa but also for other countries. In fact, the origin of OBP goes back to 1896, when a devastating outbreak of rinderpest threatened the country and a veterinary institute became necessary to provide vaccines. To fight stock diseases such as rinderpest, botulism, bluetongue, lumpy-skin disease and horse sickness, which made farming in Southern Africa very difficult, if not impossible in some areas, was initially the main task of Onderstepoort.
