"Veterinary biologics" is a fancy way of saying "vaccine", particularly in reference to a live attenuated vaccine. Veterinarians use vaccines to protect animals from either contracting a disease (rabies) or to provide enough of an immune system boost to the animal that the animal doesn't get severely ill from the disease.

Glaxosmithkline is actually a company that specializes in global pharmaceuticals, biologics, vaccines, and consumer healthcare. Glaxosmithkline has its headquarters in London, England.

Small distinctions in the cell line, the manufacturing process or the surrounding environment can make a major difference in side effects observed during treatment, i.e. two similar biologics can trigger very different immunogenic response. Therefore, and unlike chemical pharmaceuticals, substitution between biologics, including biosimilars, can have clinical consequences and does create putative health concerns.
