Prof. Assem El-Essawy emphasized the continued organization of comprehensive development convoys, which stem from the university's role and the mission of the Community Service and Environmental Development Sector at Fayoum University. It also reflects Fayoum University's commitment to providing diverse services to the local community, including free medical and veterinary convoys and agricultural awareness in the centers and villages of Fayoum Governorate. This is intended to strengthen the partnership between the university and the local community in various fields. For his part, Dr. Wagdy Moustafa, Director of the Veterinary Medicine Directorate in Fayoum, explained that the veterinary convoys organized by Fayoum University contribute significantly to supporting breeders and alleviating their burdens. He noted that parasitic and reproductive diseases represent the most prominent challenges facing breeders in the governorate, emphasizing that providing sustainable veterinary care for animals helps improve their productivity and ensure their overall health.

Dr. Ali Saad Ali, Head of the Veterinarians Syndicate in Fayoum, also noted that the veterinary convoys come at an opportune time, as the governorate's livestock sector faces numerous challenges, most notably a lack of health awareness among breeders, which exposes livestock to risks that ultimately impact the local economy.

Mr. Abdel Nasser Bakry concluded by emphasizing that these convoys provide various forms of assistance to villagers and contribute to the preservation and care of livestock.
