Legal basis for conducting forensic veterinary examination

The information and legal bases of Russian legislation contain a large number of regulations at various levels regulating expert activities. The task of forensic expert activity is to assist judicial authorities and investigative bodies in solving problems that require special knowledge.

A high-quality legal forensic veterinary examination allows one to assign an adequate punishment for an offense, as well as reduce the number of offenses. The purpose of writing the article was to apply regulatory knowledge in resolving issues that arise when organizing and conducting a forensic veterinary examination.
