Under the patronage of Dr. Mohamed Hany Ghoneim, Governor of Fayoum, Prof. Yasser Magdy Hatata, President of Fayoum University, and Prof. Rasha El-Khouly, President of the Egyptian-Chinese University, and under the supervision of Prof. Assem Fouad El-Essawy, Vice President of the University for Community Service and Environmental Development, Fayoum University organized a comprehensive veterinary convoy in the village of Manashy El-Khatib in Fayoum Governorate.

This was done in cooperation with the Egyptian-Chinese University, the Directorate of Veterinary Medicine, the Veterinary Syndicate, the Fayoum Animal Health Laboratory, and the Food Inspection and Control Department of the University Cities.

In the presence of Prof. Eman Ahmed Abu El-Fadl, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Coordinator of Development Convoys at the Egyptian-Chinese University, and Mr. Abdel Nasser Bakry Mohamed, Director General of the General Administration for Community Service and Environmental Development, on Monday, June 22, 2026.

Prof. Assem El-Essawy emphasized Fayoum University's commitment to implementing comprehensive development convoys, stemming from its community mission to support the most needy villages. This contributes to improving the quality of life for citizens, especially as these convoys contribute to the advancement of rural communities, support livestock breeders, and preserve livestock, which is one of the most important pillars of economic development in Fayoum Governorate.

He noted that the convoy witnessed distinguished participation from specialized veterinarians from Fayoum University and the Egyptian-Chinese University. Free examinations and treatment were provided to 1,531 cases of cattle, sheep, goats, and goats, as part of the efforts to maintain the health and improve animal production in the village of Manashy El-Khatib and the surrounding villages.

It is also worth noting that the veterinary services provided included administering medication to 495 animals, treating 352 cases of internal, respiratory, and digestive diseases, and cases of poisoning, in addition to treating 273 reproductive cases. Furthermore, 411 animals received vaccinations against worms and parasites, along with veterinary guidance and awareness sessions for livestock owners on preventative measures and the necessary ongoing healthcare for their animals.

Dr. Wagdy Mostafa, Director of the Fayoum Veterinary Directorate, explained that the veterinary convoys organized by Fayoum University represent genuine support for livestock owners and alleviate many of 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 Fayoum Veterinary Syndicate, added that these convoys come in light of the challenges facing the livestock sector, most notably the lack of health awareness among some livestock owners, which could negatively impact livestock production and the local economy.
