BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 30. Production of local
veterinary vaccines is planned to be launched for the first time in
Azerbaijan by the end of this year.
This was announced by the Chairman of the Azerbaijan Food Safety
Agency, Goshgar Tahmazli, in a joint interview with Trend News Agency and the
Khazar TV channel.
He explained that these are vaccines against rabies and are
completely produced in Azerbaijan.
According to him, these vaccines, called "Rabisafe", are being
prepared at the production facility of the Food Safety Institute in
Guba.
"Starting next year, Azerbaijan will carry out vaccination
against rabies among both wild animals and domestic animals with
preparations of its own production. For this purpose, vaccination
will be carried out using decoy feeds, especially for wild animals.
Since these vaccines produced fully comply with international
standards, their export to other countries is also planned in the
future," he said.
The official also shared future plans for the production of
other preparations in the field of livestock and poultry.
Tahmazli pointed out that one of the most important measures to
be implemented in the coming period is the creation of
foot-and-mouth disease-free zones in the liberated territories and
in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.
"If we achieve this goal, it will be possible to export
livestock products to different countries of the world after
vaccination against foot-and-mouth disease is carried out in farms
registered in those zones," he added.
