ARRANGEMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF REGIONAL OFFICIAL VETERINARY SURVEILLANCE IN RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN 2016
Abstract
The paper is devoted to the arrangement of the official veterinary surveillance in the Russian Federation. Examples of veterinary surveillance arrangement in federal states are demonstrated. Summarized results of quantitative analysis of the scope of the regional official monitoring in 2016 are first published; special properties of the regional distribution of the control and surveillance measures are identified. Analysis of the coverage of the facilities subject to the regional official veterinary surveillance is performed, and following its results relatively low percent of the coverage of the controlled facilities is identified. Analysis of some parameters of veterinary surveillance performance including comparison of routine and random control and surveillance measures was performed. Staff and financial resources available for the RF veterinary surveillance authorities were quantified and analysis aimed at detection of interrelation between the resource volume and different factors and variables was made. It was concluded that for the purpose of adequate public protection the transition from total control to risk-oriented policy is needed and that risk-oriented policy should involve planning of checks depending on the animal health risk level. It is additionally urgent to pay closer attention to the development and revision of unified approaches to determination of inspectors' staff size and improvement of methodical approaches to the calculation of financial expenses on surveillance implementation. Results of the analytical investigation performed can be used for the development of optimal approaches to addressing practical tasks and for total improvement of veterinary surveillance in the Russian Federation.
