 The
Division of Animal Industry promotes sustainable animal production
agriculture and the safety of the animal origin food supply. These
goals are accomplished through regulatory and cooperative educational
efforts with various agencies, both public and private.
The Division seeks to detect, control and eradicate communicable diseases in food and fiber producing animals. These diseases cause severe livestock production and economic losses and often pose a significant threat to public health.
Prevention of the introduction of disease from animals purchased from other states is accomplished by the Divisions import/export health certificate and test monitoring program.
The administration of the dog licensing, identification
and control law, the NYS Animal Population
Control Program, animal care inspections of municipal dog shelters,
and certification and evaluation of municipal dog control officers
is also under the auspices of the Division.
Other Division duties include involvement in food residue violation follow-up,
the inspection of the health of livestock exhibited at the New
York State Fair and county
fairs, blood testing pulling horses for the detection of performance
enhancing drugs, and the accreditation and special training of New
York State veterinarians who perform official program tests.
