“The first two months of this year have witnessed a twofold increase in the production of Russian veterinary drugs compared to the same period last year. The full-scale launch of production facilities is expected to result in a substantial increase in production volumes while preserving the product range,” the ministry stated.
Local pharmaceutical companies are poised to fully replace imported antibiotics for veterinary purposes. The Ministry of Agriculture reports that in 2023 alone, 28 vaccines for the prevention of animal diseases, 31 antibiotics, and 33 additional veterinary drugs were registered in Russia.
The ministry attributed the surge in production to several factors, including the modernization of production sites, the development of innovative high-tech medications, and the broadening of the product range.
