IEVSiDV SO RAAS - coordinator of veterinary science of Siberia and the Far East

This article presents the research activities of the Institute of Experimental Veterinary Medicine of Siberia and the Far East (IEVS&FE) in the context of addressing pressing issues in Siberian livestock farming. It provides information on the history of the institute’s founding, the formation of its staff, and the selection of its research focus. It identifies the current issues in veterinary services for livestock farming that IEVS&FE scientists are addressing. It lists the most significant scientific achievements and developments that have impacted veterinary well-being and contributed to the improvement of farms in the region. The role of leading IEVS&FE scientists in the development and advancement of veterinary science in Siberia and the Far East is highlighted. The Presidium of the Siberian Branch of the All-Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, chaired by Academician A. A. Sviridov, submitted a petition to the Government of the RSFSR to establish an academic veterinary institute within the Siberian Branch. In July 1974, by a resolution of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR, the Institute of Experimental Veterinary Medicine of Siberia and the Far East (IEVS&DV) was established on the premises of the Novosibirsk Research Institute of Veterinary Sciences, with a branch in Chita, based on the Chita Research Institute of Veterinary Sciences. The establishment of a veterinary institute within the Siberian Branch of the All-Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences ensures comprehensive research into the region’s most important veterinary issues. Its primary research focus is studying the conditions for the development and status of domestic veterinary science in the context of socio-political, socio-economic, and cultural factors, and analyzing state veterinary policy, which determines priorities for the development of veterinary medicine. The search for optimal regimens and methods for the use of various immunomodulatory and stress-correcting drugs in veterinary practice remains relevant and is planned for the future.
