Veterinary office

The Veterinary Office deals with food hygiene, animal diseases and animal by-products, animal welfare, veterinary medicines and travelling abroad with animals.

Description

The beginnings of municipal veterinary food and livestock inspections date back to 1823. At that time, the Munich City Council employed two vets to carry out meat and livestock inspections. In 1862, the magistrate issued a series of ordinances relating to food transport. A municipal food inspection centre headed by the district veterinarian was set up to carry out the inspections of meat, sausage, game, fish and milk required by these ordinances.

The monitoring of meathygieneis still a special part of the veterinary system.

Today, in addition to consumer protection, the official veterinarians of the municipal veterinary office also play an important role in animal welfareandthe fight againstanimaldiseases.They are also the point of contact for animalby-products,veterinary medicines andtravellingabroad with animals.
