Day of Veterinary Medicine Workers

According to the Decree of the President of Ukraine No. 1035/2001 dated November 1, 2001, Day of Veterinary Medicine Workers is celebrated annually on the second Sunday of August. The main goal of this day is to "celebrate the significant contribution of veterinary medicine workers to ensuring veterinary and epizootic well-being, veterinary and sanitary safety of livestock products and environmental protection."

In 2023, Day of Veterinary Medicine Workers falls on August 13.

The work of a veterinarian is an extremely responsible business that requires great willpower, patience and, most importantly, sincere love for animals from those willing to do it. The work requires great stress resistance and coolness.

Every zoo should have a veterinarian, because they treat diseases and injuries of animals, if necessary, help youngsters to be born, do a lot of work on disease prevention, do vaccinations, carry out disinfection, control the quality of animal feed.

Today, the staff of Mykolaiv Zoo sincerely congratulates our veterinarians on their professional holiday. We wish them health and success in their difficult but necessary work! After all, they have a difficult and responsible business in their hands. It is nice to realize that people working in this field are devoted to their profession, for them work is both a vocation, and eternal restlessness, and daily hard work.
