The new veterinary rules were previously approved by the Ministry of Agriculture of RUSSIA. Their validity is provided until March 1, 2029.

“The new veterinary regulations establish different requirements for personal subsidiary or farm enterprises and large enterprises. The document regulates the norms for keeping small cattle: feeding, walking, prevention and diagnosis of diseases, and also includes new requirements for premises,” said Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Moscow Region Vladislav Murashov.

According to the new requirements for large livestock enterprises, it is necessary to divide into zones the territory where more than 1 thousand heads of small cattle are kept. In addition to the production area with animals, there should be areas for walking, a veterinary and preventive center with a place to store medicines, separate areas for quarantine, storage and processing of manure and disposal of biowaste.

Also, requirements were established for premises for keeping livestock, walking areas, prevention and diagnosis of diseases. The norms for watering and feeding livestock have also been worked out.
