Under
the patronage of Dr. Mohamed Hany Ghoneim, Governor of Fayoum, and Prof. Yasser
Magdy Hatata, President of Fayoum University, and under the supervision of Prof.
Assem El-Essawy, Vice President of the University for Community Service and
Environmental Development, a comprehensive veterinary caravan was organized in
Ezbet El-Heisha in the village of Manshaat El-Fayoum.
The
caravan was conducted in cooperation with the Directorate of Veterinary
Medicine, the Fayoum Veterinary Syndicate, and the Food Inspection and Control
Department of the University Cities, under the supervision of Mr. Abdel Nasser
Bakry, Director General of the General Administration for Community Service and
Environmental Development, on Monday, July 20, 2026.
Prof.
Assem Fouad El-Essawy emphasized that Fayoum University is committed to the
continued organization of veterinary convoys that contribute to the advancement
of rural communities, support livestock breeders, and preserve animal
resources, which are considered one of the most important pillars of economic
development in the governorate. Therefore, a comprehensive veterinary convoy
was organized in the village of Manshaat El-Fayoum and the surrounding
villages, which witnessed outstanding participation from specialized
veterinarians from Fayoum University. A total of 1,895 cases of livestock,
including sheep, cattle, goats, and poultry, were examined and treated free of
charge. This included administering deworming medication to 392 sheep, treating
664 internal diseases, treating and preventing intestinal and liver worms in
cattle and buffalo, treating respiratory and digestive diseases and cases of
poisoning, treating 87 reproductive cases, administering 421 deworming and
parasite vaccinations, and treating 331 poultry. Veterinary guidance and
awareness sessions were also provided to livestock owners on preventative
measures and how to provide ongoing animal healthcare.
Dr.
Wagdy Moustafa, Director of the Fayoum Veterinary Directorate, explained that
the veterinary caravans organized by Fayoum University provide genuine support
to livestock owners and alleviate their burdens. He pointed out that parasitic
and reproductive diseases are among the most prominent challenges facing the
livestock sector in the governorate, and that providing sustainable veterinary
care directly contributes to improving productivity and maintaining the overall
health of animals.
Dr. Ali
Saad Ali, head of the Veterinary Syndicate in Fayoum, added that these convoys
come at a very important time, especially in light of the challenges facing the
livestock sector, most notably the lack of health awareness among some
breeders, which may negatively affect livestock production and the local
economy.
