From 2 to 6 November 2026, veterinary specialists from PSP Ukraine, an operating company of the Family Dairy Farms project, visited the Czech Republic on a professional study visit. The trip was arranged at the invitation of Bioveta, a.s. and its Ukrainian representative, BIOVETA Ukraine LLC.
The delegation included Serhii Orlov, Chief Veterinary Officer at PSP Ukraine, and Roman Prybilskyi, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. They took part in a scientific and practical seminar entitled “Modern Standards of Veterinary Management in Cattle Farming: From Disease Prevention to Reproduction.”
As part of the programme, the specialists learned about Bioveta’s manufacturing processes, visited its research laboratory and exchanged professional experience with their European colleagues. The seminar covered key aspects of cattle health management, including disease prevention, mastitis control, young stock health, dry cow management and herd reproduction.
The main objective of the visit was to explore modern European approaches to veterinary management, learn about new developments and identify practices that could be adapted and implemented in the farm’s operations.
“Meetings like these provide an opportunity not only to learn about new veterinary developments, but also to compare approaches to disease prevention and treatment and discuss practical challenges with colleagues from other countries. What is particularly valuable is gaining knowledge that can be adapted to the conditions of our farm and applied to improve herd health and productivity,” said Serhii Orlov, Chief Veterinary Officer at PSP Ukraine.
The professional development of the veterinary team and the implementation of modern livestock management practices are important parts of the Family Dairy Farms project’s operations. After all, herd health directly affects milk quality, animal productivity and the overall efficiency of dairy production.
The Family Dairy Farms project would like to thank Bioveta, a.s. and BIOVETA Ukraine LLC for the invitation, the comprehensive programme and the opportunity for professional knowledge exchange.
