In addition, in 2022, 22 Russian veterinary vaccines and 74 pharmaceuticals were registered for the purpose of import substitution.
“As for the supply of vaccines to poultry farming and other livestock sectors, the volumes of vaccine production and the dynamics of their import in 2023 indicate the creation of the necessary reserves in the short term, until the middle of next year,” the department noted.
