Their role is multiple - they are used for food, as a source of leather raw materials, for physical work and socializing. Precisely because of such an important role of animals, it is necessary to take care of their health and productivity. The protection of animal health is carried out in order to ensure the breeding and production of healthy animals, hygienic and healthy products of animal origin, protection of people from zoonoses and ensuring animal welfare and veterinary environmental protection.
