Veterinary activities

NACE code 75.0 covers veterinary activities, which play a crucial role in maintaining the health and well-being of animals across various sectors, including agriculture, livestock farming, and companion animal care. This industry is essential for ensuring animal welfare, preventing and treating animal diseases, and supporting the broader economy that relies on healthy animal populations.

Veterinary activities involve a range of techniques and procedures performed by licensed veterinarians and their support staff. These include physical examinations, diagnostic tests (e.g., laboratory analyses, imaging), medical treatments (e.g., medication, surgery), and preventive care (e.g., vaccinations, parasite control). Veterinary professionals use their specialized knowledge and skills to diagnose, treat, and manage a wide variety of animal health issues, from routine check-ups to complex medical interventions.

The veterinary industry relies on various inputs, including medical equipment and supplies (e.g., diagnostic tools, surgical instruments, pharmaceuticals), laboratory facilities, and highly trained personnel. Veterinarians must undergo extensive education and training to obtain the necessary qualifications and licenses to practice. Additionally, the industry requires access to a diverse range of animal species, from livestock to companion animals, to provide comprehensive veterinary services.

The primary outputs of the veterinary industry are the provision of animal healthcare services and the maintenance of animal health and welfare. These outputs support a wide range of other NACE codes, such as 01.0 Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities, 03.0 Fishing and aquaculture, and 96.0 Other personal service activities, which rely on healthy animal populations for their economic activities.
