Programme: Local Development, Poverty Reduction and Enhanced Inclusion of Vulnerable Groups

The main investment that is planned for implementation is the purchase of an X-ray machine, DR-system for rapid visualization of the X-ray image, table and monitor for the DR-system, biochemical automatic analyzer and stationary animal cages.  X-ray examination is an imaging diagnosis that is necessary for accurate diagnosis in animals. An indispensable method for detecting pathological changes in all organs and systems. The DR system is the most modern method for converting the X-ray image into digital. A modern trend that eliminates the process of developing films, the use of chemicals, reduces the time for image visualization and improves image quality, providing faster and more reliable diagnosis.
The automatic biochemical analyzer for diagnosing animal health provides accurate laboratory results with just two drops - whole blood, serum or plasma. SMT-120V has no requirements for staff, everyone can perform the test easily and completely automatically, which reduces errors in manual operation. Fully automated operation, which reduces training and use time. Rapid diagnostics with multi-parameter test results in 12 minutes, which reduces waiting time.
With the stainless steel metal cages, we will ensure the comfort of the animals when they stay with us, it will facilitate disinfection and keep the space clean. These investments will make us more competitive and innovative.
