Over 90% of Iran's demand for animal vaccines met domestically: Acting min.

Tehran, IRNA – Acting head of Iran's Ministry of Agriculture Jihad (MAJ) Mohammad Aghamiri has said that over 90% of the animal vaccines needed in the country is supplied by domestic producers.

Addressing a conference in Tehran on Saturday, Aghamiri said the annual volume of livestock vaccines produced in Iran is some 550 million doses, adding that the vaccines are produced with high quality and under strict standards.

He added that Iran imports around 50 million vials of animal vaccines per year only because local production of those vaccines are not economically justifiable.

The official said other countries in the region that have made great efforts in the field of animal vaccines are Turkey, Malaysia, and Pakistan, adding, however, that those countries still lag behind in terms of producing human and poultry vaccines.

The Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute, which is a subsidiary of the MAJ, is chiefly responsible for developing and production of animal vaccines in Iran.
