Russia Taps AI to Standardize Veterinary Care

A new AI system developed in Moscow is transforming how veterinarians treat animals — by learning from thousands of case files and suggesting the best treatment protocols.

Russia is introducing artificial intelligence to assist veterinarians in standardizing and improving animal care. Developed by the Moscow State Academy of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology named after K.I. Skryabin, the system analyzes thousands of treatment protocols and proposes the most effective therapy plans, according to the Petomtsy news portal.

The AI is already in use at clinics across several Russian regions and even internationally — including in Uzbekistan. By studying a patient’s medical history and comparing it with similar cases, the neural network recommends treatment strategies that have been most commonly prescribed in comparable situations. Developers claim the system reliably identifies appropriate therapies.

Currently, there are no unified standards in veterinary medicine. The AI will aggregate vast amounts of clinical data, laying the groundwork for national veterinary protocols that could improve care quality across the board.

A companion mobile app for pet owners has also been launched, allowing users to track their animal’s medical history and lab test results.

In the future, the system is expected to scale nationwide, enabling veterinary clinics throughout Russia to operate under unified, evidence-based guidelines.
