Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev chaired a meeting of the standing government anti-epidemic commission. The event was attended by senior officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance, the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing, and other relevant agencies, as well as regional representatives.
"Epizootic safety is the key to the sustainable development of Russian livestock farming. Efforts to ensure this are being implemented across the entire chain. The Russian government has allocated 4.2 billion rubles to the regions for the purchase of vaccines and diagnostics in 2025. Moreover, funding for this area is steadily increasing, with a total of over 17 billion rubles already allocated over the past five years," said Dmitry Patrushev.
The Deputy Prime Minister stated that to minimize the risk of disease outbreaks, continuous monitoring of the situation in wildlife and private farms must be ensured.
The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that a separate federal project within the national project "Technological Support for Food Security" is aimed at improving veterinary welfare.
At the federal level, all necessary tools for ensuring epizootic safety have been provided, including methodological recommendations for the regions, and decisions are being made at the commission level to improve industry regulation. Specifically, the veterinary safety plan has been updated, outlining procedures for preventing and responding to animal diseases. Systematic improvement of the effectiveness of state veterinary services remains a priority.
Following the meeting, Dmitry Patrushev instructed that preventative measures be implemented promptly to prevent disease outbreaks. The Deputy Prime Minister also drew the regional leaders' attention to the need for high-quality livestock census.
