The Prosecutor’s office of the Minsk region checked the preparation of livestock facilities for the winter-stall period

The prosecutor's office of the Minsk region checked how the agricultural organizations of the region prepared for work in the winter-stall period - it is not just about the formal implementation of planned measures, but about the real readiness of farms and complexes to accept and preserve livestock without losses, the information service of the prosecutor's office of the Minsk region told sb.by.

Inspections showed that not all heads of agricultural enterprises reacted to the preparation for the winter stall period with due responsibility. The range of violations revealed is quite wide - the state of production facilities, violations of veterinary and sanitary requirements, quality and storage of feed, as well as the lack of proper zootechnical accounting.

So, in some farms of Pukhovichi and Dzerzhinsky districts at the time of inspections required repair of the roof and walls. Their current state led to the ingress of precipitation into the premises and the formation of drafts.

In the farms of the Soligorsk district, facts of keeping livestock on wet and scant litter were revealed, at a time when the organizations had a sufficient supply of bedding material. Untimely cleaning of premises from organic waste was allowed, which created unsanitary conditions and the threat of disease.

In some agro-enterprises recorded facts of storage of feed in the open air, in areas filled with organic and water.

The Ministry also reported that during the supervision measures established facts when the heads of agricultural organizations, without taking specific measures to correct the negative situation with the reduction of livestock, distorted information about the actual composition of the main herd.

According to the revealed facts, the territorial prosecutors of the Minsk region submitted 17 acts of prosecutorial supervision to the district executive committees and to the heads of agricultural organizations, in which they demanded to eliminate violations, ensure proper maintenance and safety of cattle, and bring the perpetrators to justice. In addition, the Minsk Region Prosecutor’s Office informed the Minsk Regional Executive Committee about the violations. Execution of acts of supervision prosecutors took control.

The prosecutor’s office of the Minsk region will continue supervisory measures to prepare livestock facilities for the winter-storage period. In Svisloch district after the inspection of the Prosecutor’s office eliminated the shortcomings in the maintenance of livestock
