On behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan and on my own behalf, I congratulate the Main Veterinary Directorate of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Tatarstan and veterinarians of the republic on their professional holiday - Veterinary Worker's Day!
Your profession, valuable knowledge and experience are indispensable and vital for the agro-industrial sector, because the effective development of animal husbandry, the provision of the necessary sanitary control, and the supply of the country's population with high-quality food directly depend on them.
Today, the veterinary service unites high professionals dedicated to their favorite work. I am sure that in the future your knowledge and experience will contribute to the successes and achievements in the field of veterinary medicine of the Republic of Tatarstan!
In recent years, the veterinary service has managed to significantly reduce the cases of rabies, to halve the infection with leukemia. Thanks to the republican program, a network of district veterinary stations operates, mobile veterinary stations operate in the countryside. All this ensures the availability of veterinary care in the countryside.
More than 1900 specialists work in the state veterinary service today. Every day they protect our republic from infectious and other animal diseases, ensure food security and protect the population from diseases common to humans and animals.
Today the veterinary service is developing new areas of activity. Feed laboratories are fully operational, and a program for the disposal of biological waste is in place. For the coming period, you are faced with the task of improving the protection of cattle from leukemia, as well as taking measures to obtain accreditation by veterinary laboratories. This will allow our republic to participate in the Federal Program "Export of Agricultural Products".
With all my heart I wish you good luck, health, happiness, prosperity, the implementation of all your plans and professional success in a matter so necessary for society and the republic!
