瓦赫宁根生物兽医研究所是瓦赫宁根大学的重要组成部分，通过研究、诊断和咨询为动物传染病的预防、根除和控制做出贡献，为动物和人类的健康和福祉做出了贡献。研究所对动物健康和（传染性）疾病进行研究，涉及临床前和临床研究、动物模型、流行病学和风险管理，研究和分析的结果被用于支持提交给相关监管机构的档案。
作为合同研究组织，研究所通过私人和公共利益相关者正在进行的研究项目获取资源和信息，专业知识不断增长，为公共和私人客户面临的问题提供有效的解决方案，主题包括抗生素耐药性、疫苗开发、肠道健康和媒介传播疾病。为此，研究使用独特设施，单独或成群饲养牲畜，最高可达人类生物安全 3 级和兽医生物安全 4 级。
研究所的使命是通过预防和控制传染病来保护动物和公众健康，从而为福利和繁荣做出贡献。研究所通过为临床和临床前研究以及创新研发轨迹提供极好的可能性来做到这一点，对高度传染性病原体进行实验室和动物研究。研究重点是通过疫苗接种、早期预警系统（包括诊断）和提高动物的自然抗病能力来预防疾病。
Wageningen Bioveterinary Institute is an important part of Wageningen University, contributing to the prevention, eradication and control of zoonotic diseases through research, diagnosis and consultation, contributing to the health and well-being of both animals and humans. The Institute conducts research on animal health and (infectious) diseases involving preclinical and clinical studies, animal models, epidemiology and risk management, and the results of the research and analysis are used to support dossiers submitted to the relevant regulatory authorities.
As a contract research organization, the Institute has access to resources and information through ongoing research projects with private and public stakeholders, and its growing expertise provides effective solutions to problems faced by public and private clients on topics such as antibiotic resistance, vaccine development, intestinal health and vector-borne diseases. To this end, the study uses unique facilities to raise livestock individually or in groups up to human biosafety level 3 and veterinary biosafety level 4.
The mission of the Institute is to contribute to welfare and prosperity by protecting animal and public health through the prevention and control of infectious diseases. The Institute does this by providing excellent possibilities for clinical and preclinical research, as well as innovative R&D trajectories, with laboratory and animal research on highly infectious pathogens. Research is focused on preventing disease through vaccination, early warning systems (including diagnosis) and improving the natural resistance of animals.
