NACE v2.1 Code: N75

About veterinary activities

NACE code 75 covers veterinary activities, which play a crucial role in maintaining the health and well-being of animals across various sectors, including livestock, pets, and wildlife. This industry is essential for supporting agricultural production, ensuring food safety, and promoting animal welfare. Veterinary services are integral to the broader economy, contributing to public health, environmental sustainability, and the overall quality of life for both animals and humans.

Production process

Veterinary activities involve a range of techniques and procedures to diagnose, treat, and prevent animal diseases and injuries. These include physical examinations, laboratory tests, surgical interventions, medication administration, and preventive care such as vaccinations and parasite control. Veterinary professionals utilize advanced medical equipment, diagnostic tools, and specialized knowledge to provide comprehensive care for their animal patients.

Production inputs

The veterinary industry relies on a variety of inputs, including medical supplies (e.g., pharmaceuticals, surgical instruments, and diagnostic equipment), specialized facilities (e.g., clinics, hospitals, and laboratories), and highly trained personnel (e.g., veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and support staff). Additionally, the industry requires access to continuing education and research to stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in veterinary medicine.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the veterinary industry are the provision of medical services and the promotion of animal health and welfare. These services are consumed by a range of other NACE codes, including 01 Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities, 03 Fishing and aquaculture, and 96 Other personal service activities, as well as individual pet owners. The veterinary industry also contributes to public health by monitoring and controlling zoonotic diseases, which can be transmitted between animals and humans.
