At its meeting today, November 21, the government defined the requirements for agricultural animal markets.
In the justification, it is mentioned that, until now, the activity of agricultural animal markets in the republic is not regulated, because there is no relevant regulatory legal act. Within the regulation of the legal provisions of this decision, proper veterinary control and regulated sales will be implemented in the agricultural animal markets.
Today, the sale takes place purely as a result of a private agreement between the seller and the buyer, and this process is not controlled by a veterinary specialist.
The uncontrolled sale of agricultural animals is fraught with a number of dangerous aspects. They are:
a) the animal for sale may have diseases that are still in the latent period and will manifest clinically at a later time after the sale.
b) there is a risk of infectious disease spreading from one place to another.
c) the animal's physiological indicators may not correspond to the proposed sale price.
d) veterinary documents are not checked, and sometimes they are missing.
After the sale, due to these and other circumstances, undesirable relations between the seller and the buyer may arise.
