Under the patronage of Dr. Mohamed
Hany Ghoneim, Governor of Fayoum, and Prof. Sherif Mohamed Sabry El-Attar,
Acting President of Fayoum University, and under the supervision of Prof. Assem
Fouad El-Essawy, Vice President of the University for Community Service and
Environmental Development, the university organized a comprehensive veterinary convoy
in Ezbet El-Shafei, El-Rawda village, Tamia center, in cooperation with the
Fayoum Veterinary Directorate, the Fayoum Veterinary Syndicate, and the Food
Inspection and Control Department of the university dormitories, on Tuesday,
August 18, 2026.
Prof. Assem El-Essawy emphasized
that organizing veterinary convoy is part of Fayoum University's community role
and its commitment to utilizing its scientific and human resources to serve the
residents of villages in Fayoum Governorate. The veterinary medical team
examined, treated, and provided free treatment to approximately 1,426 animals,
including cattle, sheep, cows, buffalo, goats, and poultry. They also provided
guidance and awareness to livestock owners on proper animal health and
prevention methods.
He also explained that the
veterinary convoy administered medication to 236 sheep and cattle, examined and
treated 681 cases of internal, respiratory, digestive, and reproductive
diseases, as well as cases of poisoning. They also performed ultrasound
examinations on 43 cows and 16 buffalo, in addition to treating 450 poultry.
For his part, Dr. Wagdy Mustafa,
Director of the Fayoum Veterinary Directorate, praised the role of Fayoum
University in supporting small-scale livestock breeders, especially since
parasitic and reproductive diseases, along with some digestive and respiratory
diseases, pose a challenge to livestock development. He emphasized that
bringing veterinary services to breeders in villages and hamlets directly
contributes to the rapid detection and treatment of diseases, and improves the
health and productivity of animals.
Dr. Ali Saad Ali, head of the
Veterinary Syndicate in Fayoum, emphasized the importance of continuing
veterinary convoys as a key element in improving livestock production. He
pointed out that raising awareness among livestock breeders is essential for
disease prevention, enhancing animal production, and supporting the local
economy.
Mr. Abdel Nasser Bakry Mohamed,
Director General of the General Administration for Community Service and
Environmental Development, added that Fayoum University's continued
implementation of comprehensive medical and veterinary development caravans in
various villages of Fayoum Governorate stems from its social responsibility and
its commitment to delivering specialized services to citizens in their
communities, especially the most vulnerable groups, thus contributing to
improving quality of life and supporting development efforts.
