On April 23, the first practical training on the responsible use of antibiotics in livestock production will take place in Lviv, addressing new veterinary regulations and growing demand from producers for their practical implementation.

Legislative changes, the strengthened role of licensed veterinarians, prescription-only use of medicines, requirements for treatment records and traceability — all these elements are shaping new operational rules that already require clear, farm-level solutions.

The training programme is designed to address these challenges. Participants will learn how to act in case of animal disease — from initial diagnosis to establishing treatment protocols and the justified use of antibiotics.

A key feature of the training is its practical, case-based approach. Participants will work in groups to analyse real production scenarios, make treatment decisions, and develop farm-level strategies for managing antibiotic use.

The training series will not be limited to Lviv — additional sessions are planned in Kyiv and Poltava, allowing broader engagement of producers and industry professionals.

The initiative is implemented with the participation of the Association of Pig Producers of Ukraine within the framework of the international EpiC project and aims to support the transition from ad hoc antibiotic use to a systematic approach to animal health management in line with modern standards.

Participation is free of charge, but the number of places is limited. Registration by phone: +380688629496.


The Association of Pig Producers of Ukraine is a non-profit, voluntary organization founded by domestic pork producers. Its main objectives are to represent and protect the interests of its members, promote the development and implementation of efficient pork production technologies, expand market opportunities, and safeguard the domestic market.

The EpiC project in Ukraine aims to strengthen public health, animal health, and laboratory capacity through targeted technical assistance, institutional capacity building, and improved coordination between national and regional public and animal health authorities in line with international standards and a One Health approach.
