Project code: UTF/MON/021/MON
2024Also available in:
No results found.The project was very relevant to the priorities of the Government of Mongolia ministries and veterinary practitioners in public and private sectors. The activities taken by the project significantly enhanced the capacity of the General Authority of Veterinary Services by providing technical, policy, planning and management support, upgrading laboratories with equipment and trainings working closely with the staff working at the primary level of animal health service including the Private Veterinary Unit, as well as improving the digitalization of the animal health service. These collective efforts contributed effectively to deliver strengthened animal health services in Mongolia. The project ensured the sustainability of its result effectively through development of policy documents and transboundary animal disease control strategies, capacity building trainings. However, challenges may arise, particularly in the areas of insufficient finance, the absence of a Veterinary Statutory Body, and the potential of failure to control disease outbreaks effectively if cases resurface.Throughout the project implementation, the project's adaptability and flexibility played a pivotal role, successfully adjusting originally planned activities and budget to address emergency needs in the country. The effective management of disease outbreaks during the project further underscored its resilience and impact. The report provides 4 conclusions, 6 recommendations and several lessons learned. -

No results found.A key objective of the Government of Mongolia is toincrease economic growth from livestock resources andfrom meat exports, including heat-processed products.Animals, both domestic and wild, play an important role ingenerating sustainable income. Meat, dairy, wool,cashmere and leather raw materials are produced fromgoats, sheep, yak, cattle, camels and horses for furtherprocessing, while wild animals are important both fortourism and in terms of national heritage. In addition,meat exports are critical to managing pressure on pasturelands due to overpopulation/overgrazing of livestock.Animal diseases, as well as the challenges surroundingtheir prevention and control, are well established asthe main impediment to the sustainable development ofthe livestock sector. This is directly associated with thecapacity of the national veterinary services to minimizethe animal disease burden and promote animal health.Nevertheless, Mongolia’s services are currently underextreme pressure, facing animal diseases that are liableto limit trade. The large number of livestock creates high demand forveterinary services. With increasing exports, the highdemand for veterinary services may need to grow furtherto allow compliance with certification inspection,international health standards, quarantines, etc.A number of initiatives have been undertaken in Mongoliaby the Government and its development partners. Forinstance, there are areas of the country free fromFoot-and-mouth disease (FMD) that comply with thestandards of the World Organisation for Animal Health(OIE), an animal identification database is in place, witha number of companies selling ear tags and electronicmonitoring chips, while there is also a draft veterinarydrug residue detection plan. -
No Thumbnail AvailableDocumentGuidelines for strengthening animal health services in developing countries 1991The purpose of this publication is to assemble information from various sources to assist developing countries that, with the objectives of providing more effective animal disease control for improved food production and livestock development and protecting food safety for the consumer, are planning to upgrade their official health services in accordance with internationally accepted principles.A large volume and variety of technical publications on the many different aspects of animal health services under various social, economic and ecological conditions with many different animal disease situations are available. Following requests from many developing countries, a compilation of major experiences of animal health services has been prepared in the form of this publication. The document is based on previous Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) publications such as Standard of Veterinary Services (1974), World Health Organization (WHO) and International Office of Epizootics (OIE) publications, literature sources and technical reports dealing with this subject. Personal experiences of FAO experts and of the participants of the FAO Expert Consultation on Animal Health Services in Developing Countries, Rome, 15-19 October 1990, represent a very important contribution to this document. The Expert Consultation was attended by selected chief veterinary officers from all regions of developing countries. The final editing of the document was carried out by Drs A.K. Chatterjee, W.H.G. Rees and J. Thomson, former chief veterinary officers of India, the United Kingdom and Zimbabwe respectively.
