THE COOPERATION OF PRIVATE VETERINARY DOCTORS - POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS AND PERSPECTIVES

Abstract

The veterinary medical service in our country has traditions and a history of more than a century. In the twenties of the last century, the geographical position of Bulgaria was assessed, as a potential corridor for the invasion of epizootics and toxic infections from Asia to Europe, from active outbreaks and epizootic diseases (in animals) and zoonoses (in animals and humans) in Asia and the Middle East to Central and Western Europe. This is the reason why the Bulgarian veterinary medical service is expected to organize active anti-epizootic measures, to create a "shield" that would protect both the country and Europe from animal and human infections. The aim of the current paper is to study the possibility of cooperation of privately practicing veterinarians in the country and the benefits of this cooperation in the performance of their functions. The methods that will be used to achieve this goal are analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, monographic, etc. The expectations of this research are that the cooperation of veterinarians is a prerequisite for better performance of veterinary medical measures to protect the health of animals and people.
