Patrushev Orders Review of Animal Registration Rules

Patrushev tasked the Ministry of Agriculture, the Federal Service for Supervision in the Field of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, and the Ministry of Economic Development with assessing how requirements for accounting for animals in personal plots are being implemented.

Consensus

Dmitry Patrushev, Russian vice-premier, ordered a review of animal registration rules in personal subsidiary farms.
The review was prompted by a statement from State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodин and public complaints.
Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Economic Development, and Rosselkhoznadzor were tasked with the evaluation.
The review aims to assess practical implementation of current regulations and improve the process.
The deadline for registration depends on the number of animals: by 1 September 2024 for more than 10 birds, by 1 September 2029 for up to 10 birds.
Registration must be done through regional veterinary services, not through Multi-Functional Centers (MFCs).
There were reports of people bringing poultry to MFCs due to confusion, but this is not required.
Rosselkhoznadzor clarified that registration is done via the 'Khoriot' system and does not require physical presence at MFCs.
Volodin criticized the current rules, calling for changes or cancellation of certain provisions.
Volodin emphasized the need to consult rural residents, deputies, and experts before implementing such measures.
The focus should be on supporting personal subsidiary farms, not imposing control under the guise of sanitary safety.
