The rich past of Russian veterinary science requires in-depth study, both in general trends and in the study of its features in the regions. This is relevant for such a developed agricultural region of Russia as the Vologda Region, the development of livestock farming in which has a retrospective depth of several centuries.

The article summarizes historical experience and studies the predictors of the creation of the regulatory framework for the state veterinary service of the Vologda province in the late 19th – early 20^th centuries based on the state archive of the Vologda region (hereinafter, SAVR).
