Patrushev assessed the epizootic well-being of the livestock industry in Russia

On September 17, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting on the epizootic welfare of the livestock industry in Russia. He noted that the Government of the Russian Federation directs a wide range of state support measures to develop and improve veterinary welfare.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the country has established one of the world's best practices for oversight of the agro-industrial complex, the legislative part of which is being improved, including at the site of the government's anti-epizootic commission.

Thus, the veterinary safety plan was reissued, which provides for the procedure for dealing with animal diseases and for prevention. It is specified that all necessary preventive measures are carried out at large industrial enterprises in full compliance with the requirements of veterinary safety.

"The national project "Technological food Security" is aimed at improving veterinary well-being. Within its framework, a strong base should be created to provide livestock with effective domestic veterinary medicines. Finally, the government allocated 4.2 billion rubles to the regions for the purchase of vaccines and diagnostic tools in 2025. Moreover, the financing of this area is steadily growing, and in total over 17 billion rubles have already been allocated over five years. Nevertheless, the direct response to disease outbreaks is more relevant at the regional and municipal levels. Therefore, the priority task remains to systematically increase the efficiency of the Civil Services," Patrushev stressed.

During the meeting, the participants also discussed an important component of epizootic well—being - livestock accounting. Since September 1, new types of agricultural animals — bees, deer, camels, fur-bearing animals and rabbits - are also mandatory.

In August, Patrushev said that the government of the Russian Federation continues to work on the development of the quality characteristics of breeding stock in the framework of the national project "Technological food security". It was noted that one of the support measures is to reimburse up to 70% of the costs of conducting molecular genetic research of cattle. These scientific studies are aimed at increasing the growth rate of animal productivity and the volume of livestock production.
